I'm the kinda man likes to sit on his porch With a beer in his hand, and a cig to torch When the work day's shot, and the stars creep out There's a big bad thought that I wanna keep out So I grab my forty, take a little swig Gonna keep my brain from gettin' too big So I don't just sit there Thinkin' bout infinity I'm the kinda man keeps his talk real small How ya doin' there m'am? Good to see ya too, Paul! What's up? What's new? How's the weather been, Steve? How about this view? We shake hands and leave. As long as we don't say how we feel We can keep our talk from gettin' too real So we don't just sit there Talkin' bout infinity Well, the stars are astounding They are vast and commanding And the space that's surrounding them Forever expanding In contrast I'm layin' On some crumbs of DiGiorno A laptop displayin' Second-rate porno I'm the kinda man takes the train each day And I aint gonna lie, time withers away I hold my breath while the train tracks grind And thoughts of my death may pass my mind So I grab my phone, log onto the net Gonna watch some clips of kittens at the vet So I don't just sit there Thinkin' bout infinity Night by night I lie alone The stars surround My tiny home Flicker, flicker Through the night My TV screen Is shining bright I'm the kinda jerk works hard each day Does a full day's work for a full year's pay Own a house, own a wife, own a couple o' planes Measured my life out in capital gains Gonna count them dollars, every last one Got a big bank statement blockin' the sun So I don't just sit there Countin' to infinity Oh no... I'm gonna pass my night time Counting sheep And pass my day time In a sleep And pass away... Just dreaming about infinity

I can't drive my car anymore 'Cause my depth perception is poor But by night I roam My retirement home Just to find some ladies In their late eighties! It's time for adventures So throw out your dentures And cast away all your blues! The night is ripe for romancin' So get up and dance in Those orthopedic shoes! You know the stars in the sky Are floatin' as high As the trousers upon my waist! The night is bound to excite us And soothe my arthritis Grab me my cane, post haste! (Post haste!) Did you get those roses I sent ya? Oh! That's right! You suffer dementia! That's OK! No need to lament The laughter never ends When you're wearing depends! What would your think if I bought you a drink of Metamucil and gin? And if senility kicks in Don't worry, vixen, We'll live the night again! Oh gal, I swear when ya whip That prosthetic hip I'd think you were Heaven sent! And as we rock and we roll I may lose control Because I'm incontinent... Would you care to stay for the night, dear? Oh! That's right! You're deaf in your right ear! That's OK! I'll turn out the light here It's getting very late! It's nearly ten till eight! We could sleep together sweetly As I say a prayer discretely That we both live to the dawn! (Rub the Vaseline on!)

Look at all these mother-fuckers Smiling, holding hands Just a buncha scrotum tuggers Marchin' round in bands See them playing PDA-ing Ev'ry fuckin-where Heaven knows It truly blows When love is in the air Oh, Take a gander at these assholes Laughing, having fun Getting hand jobs in sandcastles Ev'ry goddamn one Sharing kisses Christ is pisses Me off quite a ton Hopeless assholes All around me When will I be one?

Fake plastic roses, and boxes of kittens Forty inch rims that I bought for a pittance Check out my smart phone! It farts when it rings! These are a few of my frivolous things! Cream-colored mac books, and hot toaster strudels Certified organic fair-traded noodles Blog posts about my dog meditating These are a few of my frivolous things! Babies in Gucci with chic diaper rashes Cocaine that falls on my nose and eyelashes I've got a big rubber Jesus that sings These are a few of my frivolous things Fake knockoff rolex I got from a felon Big plastic packages of pre-sliced melon T-Shirts with NFL advertising These are a few of my frivolous things When my cat dies And my spouse leaves And my spirits fall I simply indulge In my frivolous things And then I don't feel at all!
