i've got the scars that i'm hiding
from times that i should have died and
a drink to remember them all
but it's the ones i've inflicted
that keep me addicted
and keep you admitted this fall
so don't expect this to let up
now get set up for the setup
just put up or shut up or don't call

sister, i've seen things this summer some say should stay safely stashed away
and brother, you better bring a baseball bat or better
because broken bones and black eyes are a safe bet

so, just once let's do something different
if it's not too much
just once let's do something different
if it's not too, if it's not too much

conflicting turn signals - we're dead
a bold, bright beacon blinking red
the answer that's been written since day one
the ride ruined in the recoil
tipped and entrenched in the topsoil
an impulse still searching for the gun
faster, feet flat to the floor mat
the tank topped up with the top back
brake lights blotted out by the sun

so, just once let's do something different
if it's not too much
just once let's do something different
if it's not too, if it's not too much

i've suffered through my potential
and didn't come back with anything substantial
i'm sorry, but i need saving
this horror is the perfect ending

just once
