[default genders - christmas card from a scammer in minneapolis lyrics]
At Christmas, in the basement
Fuzzy memories it's difficult to place them
Was it peaceful? were you patient?
With me or the predilection I had for staying
Out of the papers, job placements
Anything that might have taken time away from
All of the scams I was
Running on the days when
I lacked excuses or the
Wherewithal to make them
Back in uptown - back to basics
In the fitting room fiddling
With the blade's edge
Cut off the tag so I can walk it away and
Take it to everyday people which is adjacent
If they don't want it
I can buffalo exchange it
What if they catch me? ha, let's face it
I know the cashiers here they
Do the same shit
The CEO is an asshole, and the pay's shit
He's always hiring these girls who
Are in grade ten i heard that he's gone on
Record as hating gay men the way I tend to
Abstain from making payment?
That's just the way that
I'm fighting discrimination
Anyway man, what do you say, then?
I call my guy up, we can go all of the way in
The time's 40 and the shirt- let's say 10
If you've got 20 or 30
That's all it takes man
We can get wasted! even more wasted than
My EBT and your major in illustration!
This city hates us - more
Than it loves Prince
White rap, black tar, and the Replacements
Or washed up rock stars who never made it
Talked up so hard and never played since
At all the usual spots here, acting famous
But no one knows who they are in other places
But they can pay rent? well, okay then
I've got a gift card
You think that we can trade it?
My parents got it cuz they thought
It was a safe bet
Preventing this was their entire motivation
At Christmas, three of us blazing
In the parking lot of a bar you were DJing
I think the bridge fell - not that day, but
Recent enough that everything still
Kind of felt strange
Kept getting texts from people
Asking "are you OK?"
I got this one from this
Girl who was my roommate
I owe her money cuz of all
The times she saved me
Getting my rent when it was way
More than a month late
And I moved out without a way
For her to get paid
It's been so long since I have
Even seen her first name
But there it is again - "not
Trying to make it a thing
Just want to know that no one
I know is buried underneath
That giant pile of debris they
Keep showing on TV"
Now, here we are getting drinks - the
Floor as clear as can be
None of the regular customers came
You guys are both getting paid
To keep no one entertained and me
I'm just up here in the booth
Drinking and taking up space
Fuzzy memories it's difficult to place them
Was it peaceful? were you patient?
With me or the predilection I had for staying
Out of the papers, job placements
Anything that might have taken time away from
All of the scams I was
Running on the days when
I lacked excuses or the
Wherewithal to make them
Back in uptown - back to basics
In the fitting room fiddling

Cut off the tag so I can walk it away and
Take it to everyday people which is adjacent
