It's the bastard & the moon,
An offensive joke that's told too soon.
It's the preacher in his confession booth who's masturbating...
And I've been giving all my time to shitty jokes and cheap-ass wine..
I ponder old friends who have died and how they're decaying...
So now I can't sleep so the moon keeps me company
And no other friend makes me feel so small...
And now I see that I can see all that's in front of me...
It just took me to the end of fall... When I lost it all...
And I've been writing songs like I've got record deals..
But the fact of the matter is, No one cares at all...
And It's such a shame when the thing you love,
You'll never ever ever make a livin' off, oh no....
So now I can't sleep so the moon keeps me company
And no other friend makes me feel so small...
And now I see that I can see all that's in front of me...
It just took me to the end of fall... When I lost control...
Until changed it all...
