lyrics

When I woke up I tried to meditate
But I opted out and decided to masturbate
Ate some fruit and I stared at the TV screen
Self-pity at a level you’ve never seen

Last night I made a big mistake
I drove around in the rain after I had drank
My mom told me never to do it
But I don’t have another way to get to it

I’ve been hoping desperately
I don’t lose my mind
I am certain that I am
Going to hell in due time

Later on I tried to straighten out
I dumped my gin down the sink and I thought about
How good I used to feel
When I knew what was real

Those thoughts didn’t last too long
I got distracted and I hit my bong
That thing got me way too high
I was obsessing over how I would die

about

My Boyfriend Los Angeles, California

“I love My Boyfriend. They’re normal-core mutants from an imaginary 1960s: in which the Beatles took lots of antidepressants that didn't work or an imaginary ’80s in which Jonathan Richman only ever listened to The 5th Dimension and early Philly Soul records.”

~ Marc Ribot, Pi Recordings ... more
