[Intro]

    
    


[Verse 1]

Hmm

Losing touch i

n Tennessee

Freedom's got the best of me
   
Goddamn my opp

ortunities

Goddamn this easy livin'


Gasping for th

e mountain air

Crawling up the campus stairs
   
My throne is a

n electric cha

ir

I'm stunned with indecision

    


[Verse 2]

Hmm

Pray for upgra

des on my soul

Tearing through an open road
  
Questioning my

 moral code

And screaming at a windshield


Knowing better

 all along

Knowing all I know is wrong

Throwing up my

 alcohol

Am I making this a big deal?

    
Ooh




[Chorus]

           
Oh my skull is

        
 just a big wh

ite house
           
To some punk-a

             
ss kids from o


ut of town
           
They stay up l

        
ate and talk r

eal loud
        
And sometimes 

           
I feel like ki


cking them out


[Interlude]

   


Ooh

Ooh


[Verse 3]

Hmm

Self-absorbed 

most of the ti

me

Obsessed with sex and suicide
    
Thе dreams of 

Texas girls go

ne by

I liе like California

Stumbling over

 all the state

s

Mumblin' like a basket case
     
"Oh, love is l

ike a rattlesn

ake

Before it bites it tries to warn ya"

    


[Chorus]

           
But my heart i

         
s just a littl

e boy
           
Holding hands 

     
like brand new

 toys
           
Drunk on freed

    
om, stuck on c

hoice
       
Just cooing fo

      
r the rattle's

 noise

   
      
   
      


[Verse 4]

   
Hmm



Out of town an

d two clicks p

ast
  
I found the We

stern diamondb

ack
   
It blocks my s

elf-destructiv

e path
              
I laugh, it sh

            
akes its tail

      
Says, "If you 


hurt all of yo

ur friends
    
And disappear 


around the ben

d
    
You bet, you c

ome right back

 again
              
And try to lov

              
e though you m

      
ay fail"


[Outro]

   
Ooh

   


   
Ooh
