Sobriety brings on many changes
Not the least among them are the dreams that I’ve been waiting on,
The songs that I’ve been praying to be sung
Since many lives ago, they’re known for folding on their own
A homely duckling in a pond, an origami swan becomes
On and on, goin’ on, off and on we go on, on and on and off we go
Conformity is setting in so suddenly
All I ever wanted was to be stubborn and ugly
What has become of me, what have you motherfuckers done to me
Why are we the ones who are suffering
They are the ones who really are doing the suffering
May they suffer on
And on, goin’ on, off and on we go on, on and on and off we go
I can’t wait to go back out into the world
With a forty and a philly and a pretty little girl
Something I’ll sorely regret and yet a subject for a song better than this one
All my loneliness and of all my desperation
Spitting image of a snake chasing his tail
In this manner, I will never cease to fail in pleasing me
Some far off beauty teases me, teaches me nothing of meaning
Ever could or ever would come so easily, nothing good comes easy
