You are a lover and I am a loner You are a cold drink and I am an ulcer Nobody loves me cuz I love me only Can't say I'm lonely cuz I'm my right-hand man Can't say I'm lonely cuz I'm my right-hand man
I wanted love tailored to fit all my failures You wanted a sailor-mouthed boy, not a jailer You want out of this trailer You want to go teetotaler I want to read Norman Mailer, I don't want to think about you I want to read Norman Mailer, I don't want to think about you
Some folks get married and some folks are carried Down bubbling tides at Alcohol Falls Some folks are buried, sarcophagus scares me I'm chewing a cherry cuz the sour's all gone I'm chewing a cherry cuz I'm scared of it all
You think that you are the most beautiful girl ever Let me let you know that I've known better
You can go blaming and claim I'm a bad man Saying I smashed your heart like only a cad can I'm leaving these bad lands like the sweet lord and I planned I can't be bothered
You are a lover and I am a loner You are a cold-drink and I am an ulcer Nobody loves me cuz I love me only Can't say I'm lonely cuz I'm my right-hand man Can't say I'm lonely cuz I'm my right-hand man
