'Cause I really don't have the courage not to turn the volume up inside my ears

For years I used to put my head inside the speakers

In the hallway when you get too high and talk forever

Bm                                                 F#m
I get a little punchy with the vodka just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did

But he had to deal with those people like you who made no goddamn common sense

I’m exactly like you Valentine, just come outside and leave with me

Let’s just get high enough to see our fathers’ houses
