Lyrics
dear girlfriend, I don’t know you
and I like you even less
you got your Columbian butler
to clean up your little mess
gonna wipe that pretty smile away
and rip your prom queen dress
been around too long for this life
too short for the next
Christmas, overrated
they sucked out all the soul
apologies to Jesus, Santa Claus, and Nat King Cole
got the news by accident
I read your little text
been around too long for this life
too short for the next
some like it hot
some like it not
better check your SPF
greasy little men
hanging in the hall
hunt me and they haunt me
set me up to watch me fall
waiting in the shadows
the usual suspects
been around too long for this life
too short for the next
