Too Well Taught

lyrics

Soft chin,
deep lines,
and sad eyes.
It's not a noteworthy smile,
but I guess it's mine.

Everything I've tried -
cigarettes in '99.
It was fine.
I only did it to know what it was like,
to feel the bite,
and I backed off every time.

It's such a difficult life,
when you live it part time.
I've been too well taught to ever go crazy,
ever get nuts,
but you help me loosen up.

When you load in,
your phone rings,
oh, those strings.
You fight for a moment to sing anything.

Years ago, my brother
was on the LES 'til 3,
but now there's me,
a decade later,
working overtime in Queens,
a philistine,
dying for some sleep.

It's such a difficult life,
when you live it part time.
I've been too well taught to ever go crazy,
ever get nuts,
but you help me loosen up.

It's such a difficult life,
when you live it part time.

It's such a difficult life,
when you live it part time.
I've been too well taught to ever go crazy,
ever get nuts,
but you help me loosen up.
