Thanksgiving In Reno

At the $5.99 buffet

In reno on thanksgiving day

Nobody seemed to care

Why anyone else was there

Me and my buddy jay

Watched bad cover bands play

Got little drinks for free

Kept betting on twenty-three

We got drunk

We got sad

I met a girl who

Said she could save me

She said "I am a hug

I wrap around you and I scrub

You're made of dirt my dear

I scrub until you disappear

That's what absolution means"

She put a dollar in a slot machine

Three triple bars came up we won six

Hundred bucks

We got stoned

We had sex

I dreamt that I was
