lyrics

I waited sixteen years for a tambourine
Just to get a tom
Pressing go at a red light cabaret
Just to get it on

I don't know how much I'm supposed to take
Can you help me out?
I waited nineteen years just to get up late
And I'm full of doubt

My best friend wants to kiss
I'm the one she don't wanna miss
Number one charlatan
That ain't me girl don't pretend

Fucking up every rhyme
Laughing each and every time
Take a bow for the night
I don't wanna get it right

She said, "take one now then take a break, for an hour or two"
I saw you in the shadow of the parking lot
Giving me the cue

Well if the twisting glove don't fit your hand
Do you really think he'll understand
The rat's trying to be a gator now
He's gonna get the boot but I know

My best friend wants to kiss
I'm the one she don't wanna miss
Number one charlatan
That ain't me girl don't pretend

Fucking up every rhyme
Laughing each and every time
Take a bow for the night
I don't wanna get it right
