You Did Good Kid

You did good kid

You did good kid

When your low serotonin's got you brittle and glitchy

And your friend from the null set isn't calling you back yet

And your opening bombs and you're a few beats up ahead of the laugh track

How you gonna talk about who's toxic or not?

You gonna pick thru the pills? You gonna call in the cops?

The comedian claimed that he forgot all his props

And the jokes don't really work well without them

We were sleeping on the shuttle on the way to the club

And the holy perception and the most precious blood

It flooded the ruts and it soaked the upholstery

The driver made us walk the remainder

She came around the corner with a diplomat's shake

And some kind of crystal container

Yeah, mutually assured destruction is oftentimes a no brainer

The drifters in the kitchen

Were thrashing thru the passion

Boys, let's try to keep it on the carpet

You wouldn't be so impressed with the sunrise

If it wasn't for the darkness

You did good kid

You did good kid

But you settled for the first girl that said you were sweet

You bought a little house up on Sycamore Street

You hung around the money until they cut you a piece

You did good kid. You did good kid

But the things they didn't tell you when you went off to work

How does it feel? Where does it hurt?

You can't see the wires when they're under his shirt

But they're taking down every single detail

He came into the club with the commemorative plates

A depiction of The Slaughter at Shiloh

The light in his eyes was diminished

But they announced his arrival

Once the assistant hitched us into the harness

The wolves all started acting kinda sheepish

Woke up in a bed with a spray painted mattress

Dripping wet with the emotional weakness

And every single moment gets abandoned and emptied

Every single speaker gets blown

And now you wanna go home

Oh dude. They made a movie starring you

Oh man. This wasn't what you planned

You fold your hands and you laugh at the jokes

You did good kid. You did good kid

Oaks and acorns. Acorns and oaks

You did good kid. You did good kid

Searching out another mouth in the smoke

You did good kid. You did good kid

You did good kid
