Hooray For Me... Lyrics

Hooray For Me... lyrics

Well I can see my teenage father standing straight on a desolate corner

In the shadow of tentacled towers by the red light of America

I imagine how his mother felt

When she heard that her husband was dying



And that underground heroes of the tarmac

Shoot smack were blowing up worlds

And damned out loud

Hey can you tell me how does it feel?



Yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second

Doin' anything that you don't have to?

Well that's what I'm accustomed to, so 'Hooray for me'

And fuck you



When I slept with stony faces on the riverbank

My angel devil reveler shook me desperately in dying

I don't exactly want to apologize for anything, and now

We're all mad and tangled, in secret rooms, with Roman candles

On an endless graveyard train



Yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second

Doin' anything just 'cuz you want to?

Well, that's just what I do, so 'Hooray for me'

And fuck you



Yeah, I was dreaming through the 'How's life' yawning

Car back at that night, she told me 'Mad and meaningless as ever'

And a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme

For a million crying corpses in their tragedy, of respectable existence



Tell me, can you imagine, for a second

Doin' everythin's you ever wanted to?

Well, that's just what I do, so 'Hooray for me'



Oh, yeah, I'm not respectable, and never sensible

May be incredible so damned irascible

I like the things I do so 'Hooray for me'

And fuck you
