[My Alcoholic Friends]

my alcoholic friends

I’m counting back
the number of the steps
it took for me to get
back on the wagon of the weekend

I’ll use the autotimer to prove that
I got home with my imagination
if they find the body in the basement
“in the very house that she was raised in!”

I’m taking down
the number of the Times
so when we get the sign
from god I’ll be the first to call them

I’m taking back the number of the beast
cause 6 is not a pretty number
8 or 3 are definitely better
a is for the address on the letter
to my alcoholic friends

I’m trying hard
not to be ashamed
not to know the name
of who is waking up beside me
or the date, the season or the city
but at least the ceilings very pretty
and if you are holding it against me

I’ll be on my best behavior
taking shots for mother nature
once my fist is in the cupboard
love is never falling over

should I choose a noble occupation
if I did I’d only show up late and
sick and they would stare at me with hatred
plus my only natural talent’s wasted on my alcoholic friends
my alcoholic friend

They're playing the South by Southwest Festival here in Austin in a couple of weeks. I'd love to see them. I haven't heard much of their music, yet I happened to score a promotional music video of their called "Girl Anachronism" It's bad ass. ever seen them live?

They are AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL Live. So much energy, you'd think there were five of them, rather than only two. They're amazing. I love them so much.

Who wouldn't

Come now, crazed transsexual girls everywhere look to these twitchy people for inspiration!

My fave is Bad Habit, even though I'm not a cutter it makes it sound fun.

Bad Habit is pretty awesome, and applies to more than just cutting.

There's a lot packed into all of their songs.
