Widespread Panic - Tickle the Truth lyrics

She complained, you look different, yeah
But I'm keeping my name
You're not drinking the usual
I said it all tastes the same
She fled, you smell like LA, yeah
But check out my new frames
You know these cool shades
Make you look bitching

Oh, she split from our table
Mumbling remember to tip
I had a twenty in ready but
I said I might skip
Some people act funny when you're
Just trying to be hip
Oh, spend a little time outside the kitchen

Magnificent miles, trying out this new walk
And people are watching
It's like stepping on chalk
Learning curves behind like a memory stalks
But in all it's an innocent mission
She rang late last night
Said that wasn't you, was it?
I said all colors of money
Are fit for deposit half naked right now
I've got soup in the closet
Oh, it's sometimes with words
I'm just fishing

Should I come over? It sounds
Like you need me i said, hey that's funny
You sound like my TV
Just try this thing once
It'll make life so easy
And even puppies come under suspicion

Then a lover came knocking, I opened the door
With an apple in my hand, she said
What's that core?
It's the past and the future
But I shouldn't say more
And that's just my radio hissing

Well, I know you too well and
I know you're no villain i said
Don't look now 'cause I'm ripping off Dylan
What you see is a little crusty
The real thing's the fillin?
The sound bite from a verbal beautician

All the jokers in this world
They're swarming like bees
Catch one to the head
Make you fall to your knees
Lenny Bruce was a prophet in the 1960's
Two shows at tonight's inquisition

And drifted and dreaming, lost in the bed
Body's ups and down are just
Food for the head
It's front page and French fries
Or the funny pages instead
We tickle the truth into submission

All in all it's an innocent mission
Just tickle the truth into submission
And tickle the truth into submission
