Widespread Panic - Tickle the Truth lyrics

She complained, you look different, yeah, but I'm keeping my name You're not drinking the usual, I said it all tastes the same She fled, you smell like L.A., yeah, but check out my new frames You know these cool shades make you look b**hing Oh, she split from our table mumbling remember to tip I had a twenty in ready but I said I might skip Some people act funny when you're just trying to be hip Oh, spend a little time outside the kitchen Magnificent miles, trying out this new walk And people are watching, it's like stepping on chalk Learning curves behind like a memory stalks But in all it's an innocent mission She rang late last night, said that wasn't you, was it? I said all colors of money are fit for deposit Half naked right now, I've got soup in the closet Oh, it's sometimes with words I'm just fishing Should I come over? It sounds like you need me I said, hey, that's funny, you sound like my TV Just try this thing once, it'll make life so easy And even puppies come under suspicion Then a lover came knocking, I opened the door With an apple in my hand, she said, what's that core? It's the past and the future, but I shouldn't say more And that's just my radio hissing Well, I know you too well and I know you're no villain I said, don't look now 'cause I'm ripping off Dylan What you see is a little crusty, the real thing's the fillin? The sound bite from a verbal beautician All the jokers in this world, they're swarming like bees Catch one to the head, make you fall to your knees Lenny Bruce was a prophet in the 1960's Two shows at tonight's inquisition And drifted and dreaming, lost in the bed Body's ups and down are just food for the head It's front page and French fries or the funny pages instead We tickle the truth into submission All in all it's an innocent mission Just tickle the truth into submission And tickle the truth into submission
