Say Anything, Keith Buckley - My Greatest Fear Is Splendid lyrics

My greatest fear is a splendid thing
It's an image of a middle-aged
Me with an earring
Playing shows to an empty bar
While the bottle wait's grinning by the
Shadow of a pop star
My girlfriend is a stripper named Steve
Lost Sherri though I begged, "Don't leave"
And she moved to Italy with Johnny Depp
He swooped in quick on his jet when she left
And oh God
I'm smoking whatever they put in front of me
Three hundred pounds with a swollen frown
Mumbling verses
Just swimming through the ground

I invite you to dethrone me
You've all had enough of me
Had enough of me, had enough of me
Your eyes do a 180
You will turn away from me
Put your spear in me, put the fear in me

Old magazine by the Bemis toilet
Strategically placed for those who
Don't know yet
That I thought I'd be the next Billie Joe
But my attempt to emulate him
Was thwarted by my ego
The Twins are long gone
Parker ain't rung yet
Adam driven back to the arms of a Beckett
I'm a piss poor father so Lucy don't call
My baby don't call she never calls at all
Oh gosh
I'm drinking like every man in my bloodline
Chris found me in a puddle of brine
I said, "Don't worry, Conley swear I'm fine"

They say good things only
Happen to good people
Well, I guess that's why I worry
It's only a fear it's only a premonition
Dear slowing down, I'm in no hurry

"Bemis, dude, you smell like curry!"

Now I see you've had enough of me
Enough of me, enough of me
