I know you like making out But there's a time and place for everything I know you like getting high But you know what they say about everyday I know you like picking fights When defenses are down In the middle of the night I know you'd like to get real deep But you know what they say: Not a poet if it's only on the page Erase with shrug What pulse is left At this point I venture this guess I can't remember when it wasn't a mess So I guess it's time to abandon ship We went to see the country All we saw were bars We went to see America Let it show us who we are We didn't get that far I know your world is upside down And you find these truths to be disputable You know I'd like to work things out But I know what you'll say: If you love me let me go away Erase with shrug What pulse is left At this point I'd venture this guess I can't remember when it wasn't a mess So I guess it's time to abandon ship
