5 kings of obsolescence
daughters of the Rising Asp
queens and martyrs and procrastinators
sons of the lazy-eyed mass
you know all the answers
before the questions asked
so don’t go looking in my direction
until my symptoms passed

some people need to go Hollywood
that’s not the way I feel
go and blame it on the Dead Back Wheel

she don’t take the subway
just fancy cars for fun
party at El Gato Negro
Vas Palmas sector one
Mylo’s got the action
desk drawer book of lies
he’s a mean one livin’ in Razor Heaven
murder in his beady eyes

some people wanna do the Bally-Hoo
that’s not the way I feel
go and blame it on the Dead Back Wheel

she don’t want to lose no fun
and really’d like to get down under in the sun
and take that quick solution right now, right now

(solos)

I don’t let the small things slide
no one else is coming with me for the ride
And I’ve got no reaction right now, right now

Chase don’t need no doctor
she just needs her stuff
makes her living off a PHD
but she never was smart enough
stuck between the crossfire
thankful to be alive
a full-time student of the psycho-babble
back in 1975
