MY OWN BEST ENEMY Sign in or register

 
Yo bum rush the show
There's a cop salivating on the patio
And my mind is in remission
The finger snacks are on display
Traveling in your spirit
It's better to be lonely with bologna

Hey stack up the bills
The highway is covered with weight-loss pills
And I'm eating all the coupons
They taste like special skin
She's the guy I long for
I'd love to smother her with leftovers

Now there's a dead kid trying to sleep
And the shallow side of things never looked so deep
Well it's less than you expected
Cos it's more than you could ever know
If you can't pull off bitterness
Some slight alienation could be just as good

And it's the most depressing cop-out
My eyes did ever see
I'd rather be your own
I'd rather be my own worst friend
Let me try that one more time
I'd rather be your worst friend
Than my own best enemy

Yo bum rush the show
There's a dead cop salivating on the patio
And my mind is in remission
The finger snacks are on display
But I'm lounging in your gutter
Looking for something else to say

Hey stack up the bills
The highway is covered with weight-loss pills
And I'm eating all the coupons
Well they taste like special skin
She's the guy I long for
And I love to smother her with leftovers

Hey there's a bird shitting on the street
And the shallow side of things never looked so deep
Well it's less than you expected
Cos it's more than you could ever know
You know if you can't pull off some bitterness
Some slight alienation could be just as good
Emotional

And it's the most depressing cop-out
My eyes did ever see
I'd rather be your worst friend
Than my own best friend
Let me try that one more time
I'd rather be your worst friend
Than my own best enemy
