Lyrics

Smokestacks pale and trade the sky and fertile life card go floating by are the way they play
A piñata for your head, the crack of the bat, and the dogs are fed, that's the way they play
And I'm ready to fight my own right
Somebody's coming to start some kind of fight
Keep thinking I got bigger better things to do

If I wanna ride on your sawed-off coattail
Sucking on candy and colored cocktails
Tippin' my top hat on top of a mountain
I'm tangled steel debris

Rob the tomb with a skeleton key, now its twenty-two bucks if you want to see your elders live
Everything you see is for sale, got a heart of stone, and a soul that sails away

When I'm ready to put my arms down
Time to flush out the neighborhood clown
Keep thinking I got bigger better things to do

If I wanna ride on your sawed-off coattail
Sucking on candy and colored cocktails
Tippin' my top hat on top of a mountain
Tangled steel debris
Tangled steel debris

Set adrift on a poison sea, now you look for land but all you see smoldering mains
Meet me down by the gates of hell, I can get you in if you just don't tell, its a popular place

When I thought I was standing upright
Got my dog to make me uptight
Keep thinking I got bigger better things to do

I wanna ride on your sawed-off coattail
Sucking on candy and colored cocktails
Tippin' my top hat on top of a mountain
Tangled steel debris

If I wanna ride on your sawed-off coattail
Sucking on candy and colored cocktails
Tippin' my top hat on top of a mountain
Tangled steel debris
Tangled steel debris
I'm tangled steel debris

Tangled steel debris
