lyrics

Alright then 
I'll admit time to time it was frightening 
Tip-toed a fine line to spite them 
A wink of my eye and a sly grin 
When they pipe in 

Well aw shucks 
Was I scraping or painting the walls up? 
Was I making just bits or it all up? 
These nitwits can witness it awestruck 
But it's small stuff 

Ok now 
I hate to throw weight 'round the playground 
But fake kind and kind make the same sound 
Saying, 'good grief, great gracious I'm grave-bound' 
On the way down 

You can find me painting lines on down the interstate 
Yellow as the sunshine, white as a winter's day 
Quiet as a candle-lit roadside dinner date 
Hubcap dinner plate, never seen a thinner steak 

Mean Mr. Musta Heard About Me, puddin', need some proof? 
Kicking up a fuss like it's dust just beneath my boot 
Hit ya with a rusty piece of muffler in your two front tooths 
Ou-waka do-waka I'ma gonna give it to you 

I often get mixed up 
Sit shiva in witch pots 
But which ones are wisdom 
And which thoughts are witch thoughts?
