Lyrics

Business Lunch

[Verse 1]

We're social mutts, thus

Nothing really suits us

Roaming is a local curse

(But hey--it could be worse)

Fuck getting by

Go quit your job

Let's get drunk in a parking lot

[Verse 2]

I've seen North Dakota

I've seen the west sea

Now I travel by rail so they can't find me

No use wondering' where

To rest your feet

Spilt milk

On borrowed mink, my sweet

[Chorus]

Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]

We're social mutts, thus

Nothing really suits us

Roaming is a local curse

(But hey--it could be worse)

Fuck getting by

Go quit your job

Let's get drunk in a parking lot

[Verse 2]

I've seen North Dakota

I've seen the west sea

Now I travel by rail so they can't find me

No use wondering' where

To rest your feet

Spilt milk

On borrowed mink, my sweet

I've seen North Dakota

I've seen the west sea

Now I travel by rail so they can't find me

No use wondering' where

To rest your feet

Spilt milk

On borrowed mink, my sweet

[Chorus]

Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Yeah, Come skin your knees with us

Life's too short for business lunch

Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
