Escape from Silver Hill (Part I)
If I'm not mistaken
I said it the first night you caught her eye：
I don't trust her as far as I can throw her
And now for the latest
In a distinguished career of insane behavior:
Sarah turned your whole family against us.
If what you got's a problem, then Eddie, I'm fucked
They say we're old, but not old enough
Not to go out swinging
So I'm hauling ass up 95;
This Tanqueray and Bruce and I
We're calling out to Mary but she's stalling on her father's porch
If she decides to go to bed
We'll go to Wendy's house instead
Or Candy's room, and woo her with expensive things
I've seen first hand where that wagon goes…
Eddie it's a long and lonesome road
Through Silver Hills and sleepless nights
Distilling Gin with God and SRIs
And I won't take it sitting down…
All I'm trying to say
Is I got nothing to do
It's a town full a winners
But someone here's gotta lose
And you know I'm not trying to straight face you,
Erase, replace, or disgrace you,
We're so far gone from the life we'd choose
If we had a choice. I don't think we do.
Eddie, all I really want to do…
Is keep messing up with you
I knew Sarah would call ahead,
And tell the guard at the gate not to let me in,
So I parked in a Culdesac a quarter mile down the street,
Then charted a course through a hedge, over a fence,
Across the lawn, round back where the kitchen is,
And gave the superintendent my tickets to the Knicks vs The Heat

In exchange for undying loyalty
And his extra copy of your bedroom key
Eddie what do you say?
The night's still young
Let's get outa here before your family comes
We'll turn this train wreck day into a classic night
How do you feel?
I swear I can drive.
Get your fucking hand off the wheel.
They got that quote of Camus' hanging up on the wall
Where he claims in the depths of the winter he saw
An invincible summer and it kept him warm
But I'm pretty sure Camus drank like a fish,
Was he not a depressive womanizing atheist?
And didn't he say there is no fate that you can't surmount with scorn?
I think he was right.
I think he got that one right.
All I'm trying to say
Is what do you wanna do?
It's a town full a winners
But someone here's got to lose
You know I'm not trying to mislead you,
Deceive, reprieve, or upheave you
We're so far gone from the lives we'd choose
If we had a choice, I don't think we do
Eddie all I really want is…
To be pretty well known
and have like four or five homes
Filled with kids on their phones
Doing god only knows,
And art that I only own
To show at parties I've thrown
For unimpressed CEO's
And wives with uplifting tones
No Eddie all I really want to do
Is keep messing up with you
