lyrics

Welcome back, my poverty
I feel so full now I'm empty
And who is lost this time around?
It's all in place it's just I've found
That hole in me the sun shines through
And warms me up to sweat anew

We could call it agitation
We could call it a renewal
We could gnaw at my bit again
'till we bite this thing through
And I'm crawling on my feet again
I could steal that flush and overspend
And it's all my pagination
It's a toy I could chew

Feeling strong enough for me
Indulgence in the armory
To boredom strike my enemy
Will lay me down and work for free
To hasten that which drives around and stares for days and days
I've paid that bastard overtime, and now we've parted ways

Call me a weirdo, but I won't mind
Call me a weirdo, ah-oo
Call me a weirdo; that's just fine

And I'm crawling up steam again
And I'm high feeling mean again
I kicked my car, it's in the shop
It'll be there for days and days and days

I could call it affirmation
I think that might ring true
It could call me back every half an hour or so
Screaming "I love you!"

And we could billow up to there
And you could breathe me through your hair
And I'm positive it's fast enough
To relieve us both from all that stuff

Mark played bass, and Bryan Breaux played drums. Dave Hamilton added tambourine. Harmony vocals by Richard White and I'm not sure exactly which of the other several guys I had over to sing: probably Colin Burt, Russ Somers, and Bryan Breaux.
