and sat in the back booth by the ,

mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer ,
but the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes .
i heard the news that you were planning ,
to shoot me out of a cannon .
i heard the piledriver waltz ,
it woke me up this morning .

you look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
and sat in the back booth by the ,
pamphlets and the literature on how to lose .
your waitress was miserable and so was your food .
if youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes .

oh piledriver
