Career Suicide Lyrics

When you come back to me, don't be gloomy 

When you're here, smile with me

And say that you can be anything you want

If you just work it out that way 

But she said

Don't leave me hangin' on a wire

You told me that you were a brand new tire

But I see the tread is low right there, and it just doesn't work out that way

Have you been to town with the sunroof down and seen all kindsa guns

To tell you you're the shiniest one of the bunch?

Let the barrels spin and the bullets run!

You took me for a fool and I

Didn't want to let you know but you

Caught the gleam of my side drool but I wiped my mouth and said: Let's go!

Let's go, Dennis

When I wrote it down there was nothing you could do

It was sitting there in black and blue

And I wouldn't work another day for you, so

At least I have some principles left

I just need some time

To get you off my mind

If you could be so kind

And sign on the dotted line

You will not miss me when I'm gone

You see, life will simply carry on as it has

Done for eons and eons and you'll see

There's nothing right and there's nothing wrong

And I'm not really impressed with you

Miles Davis would have a field day with you

He'd put it down and you'd pick it up true

But you're practicing away anyway

Maybe you don't have any talent
