cheap thrills on stages blow smoke in your eyes
and waldo is laughing as he tells you lies
and you know theres no contest you hate your surprise
but you go cuz you know
that there is no chance that you'll ever come down
and you stuck your tongue out as your face hit the ground
and the purple is hazy and turns you around
but you go cuz you know
that it's all that you know
cuz you're broke and you're low
and there's nowhere to go
and you've talked to the crow
and he's heard what you know
and he's told you to go
where the sun shines
where the stars shine
where the flowers are pink
and the curtains are brown
and the people talk loudly
and nobody frowns
when they get all smacked up
and they get all beat down
in the dark
it's gonna be a long drifty night
