Lyrics

Hey Porcupine

Hey porcupine

Where on earth is your sharp ass wit today

Did it leave you with your drinking

I heard you've cleaned up and you're going back to school

What a shame

And hey

There's lots of time

25, an enlightened mind is okay

Did it please you to know that

I completed a show that's second rate

Well hooray

I don't call you any more

It's a difference in our taste

Oh hey porcupine

That's fine

Hey we've got tonight

So let's sit down and fix ourselves a plate

Did it please you to know that

I completed a show that doesn't pay

Well hooray

I don't call you any more

It's a difference in our fate

I don't call you any more

It's a difference in our taste

Oh hey porcupine

Hey porcupine

Hey porcupine

Hey porcupine
