Kurt Vile - Runner Ups lyrics

Hey old man, how many times we gotta tell ya?
We don’t want none
But where you been so long?
Hey girl, come on over, that’ll be just fine

If it ain’t working, take a whiz on the world
An entire nation drinking from a dirty cup
My best friend’s long gone
But I got runner ups yeah

When I’m walking
My head is practically dragging
Yeah and all I ever see is
Just a whole lot of dirt
My whole life’s been one long running gag
Two packs of red apples for
The long ride home well you know, baby

Sick of walking
So you took a wrong-way train
Then you sat down and couldn’t get up
My best friend’s long gone
But I got runner ups yeah
My best friend’s long gone
But I got runner ups

I don’t know if it’s real
But it’s how I feel
Don’t know if you really came
But I feel dumb in asking
You should've been an actress
You're so domineering
Take two white gold earrings
For your troubles, ma'am

When it’s looking dark
Punch the future in the face
Instead of standing, I’m running around
The sharpest tool in school don’t
Even know what’s up
My best friend’s long gone, but
I got runner ups, yeah
