Well I guess it's true
Pete writes hits
I just write hitlists
I'm not a hitman
I'm not even really a hit, man
I'm not really a rockstar, but I rolled him over while he was passed out
Stone-drunk on the floor
Stole his wallet, watch and keys
All I still have is his day planner
It's a struggle to make every date
Every photo op with paris
I get spread thin, worn out
Always on a plane
Hoodie up, headphones on
Every three weeks
Like clockwork
Now it's to vegas
On to Minneapolis/St. Paul
On the run
Towards something instead of away
Kind of a reverse witness protection program
Only she's the mafia don
And I look terrible in the nun's habit
All washed out in black and white
The way pictures look taken with disposable cameras
Disposable camera, pictures forever
Though it always seems like the memory fades much faster than the picture
I've told the new philly story so many times it seems like it almost just that
A story
Passed away into legend, you me and andrea

Tonight I sit with the dark again
Guns drawn, aimed into the distance
Routine again
Stomach, throat, eyes on fire
Deep inside, churning
My fingertips tap out this message
sos from my sinking ship, I let the ring slip out of my fingers
Loose lips and all
Soon I'll be back in the cold
Lungs and skin flushed with heavy breathing
Hard
Hard.
In the dark no one can see you blush so what does it matter?
Why can't I just let the cat out of my bag
Your secret's out and the best part is it isn't even a good one
Another shot in the dark
Another shot
Another shot...
Bottom line? I'm part martyr, part used car salesman. Sorry, but that's just how the math works

At the same time

Once, when I was in college, I dated two girls at the same time
It wasn't very pleasant for me
I don't think I'm really built for that sort of thing
I'm really only built to date one woman at a time
I mentioned that to a coworker today because she had been dating 3 guys named Alex all at the same time
I realized, what the hell was I thinking?
Why have two angry, unsatisfied women in your life when you could just have the one
Just thinking
