'Cause of Breakfast Songtext

von Mike Keneally

Hello
I'm new in town
What I'm learning is bringing me down
If I could drive back to 16 I would
I'm afraid it wouldn't do me much good
Confused and tremulous
It's insanity
Making me incredulous
It's not the same as when you entered the world
With a slap on the ass and a cigar smoke swirl
Hello
It's scary here
Why you had to leave is not fully clear
A fading remembrance of a facial detail
Is going and going it's gone
I'm impaled on a horn that protrudes from the head
Of a beast who'd like to see me real dead
Instead I remain
To curse the fate that decrees
That I must fall to my knees
And ask the gods pretty please
To cast away the disease
That has put you in the ground

I'm the dog that was in the back of your pickup
I loved you, but now I'm super dead
'Cause I flew out of the back onto the freeway
If you loved me you should've bound me
You would've bound me if you loved me

And my frame of mind?
"Disaster area" is being too kind
Silhouetted bots jeer it
Motorists slow when near it
It's maniac time
I'm the dog that was in the back of your pickup
I loved you, but now I'm super dead

I'm the dog that was in the back of your pickup
I'm the fat fool who didn't say goodbye
You should've taken me if you loved me
