the  beer i had for breakfast  was a bottle  of mad dog
 and my 20/20 vision  was fifty  percent off
 you said punch-buggy red  and punched me right  in my left eye
 i said don't you mean pediddle?  and i lit  his house on fire
 (its the same exact thing through the entire song, I promise.)
 he came home on acid i was holding his shotgun
 i was dressed like tina turner in beyond thunder dome
 he said don't shoot, i said i won't i love you you're my friend
 i handed him my wig and shot myself in the head
 then i stuffed a box of tissues in the hole in my skull
 i got in my mazda and i drove to the mall
 i got a big johnson shirt and some silicone tits
 when i pulled out the tissues they were covered with shit
 and the beer i had for breakfast was a box of cheap white wine
 and the boom box on my shoulder was a box of clementines
 i ate every single one without noticing the mold
 you said you're gross my darling, i said no i'm rock and roll
 even though i'd never ever been in a band
 i got cool as black ice tattooed on my hand
 and the christians gave me comic books as if i would be scared
 of burning in hell well i was already there
 and the beer i had for breakfast silver bullet in the brain
 and the beer i had for lunch was a bottle of night train
 and the beer i had for dinner was my crazy neighbor's pills
 we had to sit down on skateboards jut to make it down the hill
 then i peed my pants and you stole the groom's cigar
 and some old man made me watch him masturbate locked in his car
 when i got back to the apartment you were face down on the floor
 you said don't go to bed yet let's go get a 64
 and the beer i had had for breakfast was a pint of jim beam
 and a fifth of peach schnapps and some warm sunny d
 and you said bottoms up just as i bottomed out
 i tried to scream fuck you but blood was pouring out my mouth
 evan dando never planned on telling you the truth
 and your leonardo i.d. card is your fountain of youth
 you can be a teenager for your whole fucking life
 just find some pretty sucker and make that bitch your wife
 i guess by now you all know my friends danny broke his neck
 he was driving home from sirens when he got into a wreck
 first i cried for him and then i cried for me
 haunted by the ghost of the girl i used to be
 but the rocks with holes are warm in my hands
 and i buried my toes in the hot hot sand
 and the silver pink pony kisses me and says
 you've come a long, long way and you deserve to be really happy
