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
