lyrics

I ran out of water
I guess I’ll just have to drink me some wine
I’m ‘bout to have a good time
Oh man, I ain’t got no words
For this type of song
You might think I’m wrong
Sorry for ya
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit
Oh the Devil and the Good Lord
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Standing face to face
Like you’re in some kind of outer space
That middle place
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit
I can almost breathe the air
I can see General Hospital from there
Right in that corner there
Are you living off of the moonlight
Well, you ain’t gonna get too far
It’s just a dim cheap light
Sitting in a sea foam box
Watching cockroaches crawl on walls
I ain’t got no cigarettes neither
That’s ok, cause I quit last fall
Oh man, but how I miss that first hit
