I climbed a rope ladder
To your balcony
That was the place
You said you were gonna be
I found out later
You were way across town
You’re trying so hard
To put me in the ground
You’re always saying
It’s only you and me
But everybody knows
I’m just your Plan B
I had enough whiskey
To make a man drown
But you still haven’t got me
Under the ground
I ran into a wall
Cuz you said it was funny
I gave you my heart
I gave you my money
Stuck my head up my ass
To be your clown
But somehow I managed
To stay above ground
Finally figured out
You’re not the whole world
There’s over a billion
Available girls
The sky is blue
And the Earth is round
I got a nice girl
Keeping me above ground

Used to make it complicated
Like a hamster spinning round
She taught me how to pause
And to slow it all down
She taught me how to live
With the stillness of a flower
She created a world
Where a minute was an hour
She taught me how to feel
She intensified my view
Until nothing else mattered
We were a nation of two
She taught me how to live
Without giving a care
She taught me how to breathe
When there wasn’t any air
She taught me how float
At the top of the sky
Then she disappeared
And I learned how to cry

Seven little words built the blade
Twisting like a steak knife
In my heart
I really like you for a friend
(I always knew this thing would end)
Seven little words that never fade
Echo like a foghorn
In my head
I really like you for a friend
(Now I have parties to attend)
Seven little words my hell made
Tearing like a buzzsaw
At my soul
I really like you for a friend
(It was amusing to pretend)

A million bloody teardrops
Drying out my soul
A thousand days without you
Ain’t no bottom of the hole
The only thing I have
Is nothing
The only thing I did
Was injure you
The only thing I feel
Is empty
Cuz you’re the only one
Who loved me true
I only know tomorrow
Will be sadder than today
I know I had it all
And I let it slip away
The only thing I have
Is freedom
The only thing I want
Is me and you
The only thing I do
Is break things
The only thing I know
Is I love you

Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’
—Billy Preston
There ain’t a woman who can see
All the love inside of me
Stupid two-bit loser town
Bitches try to bring me down
I need a woman sweet and pure
I’ll find my truth inside of her
I spend my cash and act a clown
Bitches try to bring me down
A million things that I could be
If only she believed in me
I could drink until I drown
Bitches try to bring me down

She burned my possessions
She poisoned my mule
She shredded my flat screen
And threw it in the pool
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else
She’s runnin all around
With a bunch of new men
My boss and my brother
And five of my friends
I had to find out
for myself
it wrecked my mind
and ruined my health
She emptied my treasury
She cashed in my chips
She bought herself rubies
And had a nice trip
I had to find out
for myself
she really helped me
share the wealth
All of my buddies
Been saying for years
But I was too timid
To face down my fears
I had to find out
for myself
I wouldn’t believe
nobody else
