When I became of age, my mama sat me down.
She said, "Son, you've grown up. It's time you looked around."
So I began to notice some things I hadn't seen before.
That's what brought me here, knockin' on your back door.

A augmentedA Closet Queen, a Bus Stop fiend, she wants to shake my hand.
I don't want to be there, she decides she can.
It's Apple Dan, he's just a man, he'll pick fruit off your branches.
I can't sleep, the big eyed peep is cattle off my ranches.

It's too strong, something's wrong. I guess I've lost the feelin'.
I don't mind the games you play, but I don't like you're dealin'.
Got the bag, the luck's been had, and there's nothin' left to smoke.
Will I be back tomorrow, for the punch line of the joke?
