I awoke from the dope of sleep
I've been this way for the past three weeks
I think it's time I start thinking vertically
The words that got me up out of bed
Were on a Chinese fortune that read
"A person's character is his destiny"
Destiny
This place needs a brand new coat of paint
Something that's going to hide the stains
Of living in your own filth
The dishes don't get washed any more
The garbage piles up on the floor
It's just a matter of how long you can stand the smell
And yourself
Tearing down the Tommyhaus
Tearing out the tommyrot
Where Tommy was now Tommy's not
Tearing down the Tommyhaus tonight
Tonight
I awoke from the dope of sleep
I'm almost drowning beneath the sheets
I think it's been about another week
It's just a matter of how long you can stand yourself
While you're standing up for someone else
When you can't even stand yourself
Stand yourself
Tearing down the Tommyhaus
Tearing out the tommyrot
Where Tommy was now Tommy's not
Tearing down the Tommyhaus tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
