Lyrics

Joker Lips

Coward cutting Joker Lips Into a rubber mask Please don't ask How I'm doing Draining cum from hotel showers Hoping for the hours To pass a little faster Please don't laugh only half of what I said Was a joke Every Catholic knows he could've been pope Kahlua shooter DUI scooter With a rolling start on the hill This morning's tryin' to kill me This morning wants to kill me And you know I love my TV But all I really wanna see Is see you near me Yeah, you know I love my TV But all I really wanna see Is see you need me (See you need me) (See you need me) (See you need me)
