lyrics

Mama, I know this is only a comedy, but I won’t be able to laugh
It’s gotten much later, I’m far from the theater
and I’ve wiped all the smoke from my eyes

Slick and handsome heroes, I find I am a foil for a clown
You’re better off with zeros, it’s a shame but they’re always around
I’m sick of all the junkies and how you “can’t get good brown in this town
That’s alright boys, I’ll stick with my whiskey

Mama, I know that this must be a tragedy, but they just gave me the wrong mask
And I’m stuck with a stupid grin to keep all my troubles in,
take it home at the end of the night

I’ve seen through the screen and the magic is gone and the actors are wearing no clothes
A quick fix, a fetish, a fuck. If you don’t move it won’t hurt a bit
That’s alright boys, I’ll stick with my whiskey

Mama, I know that this little B movie, surely will not be my last
I've been a Swamp Thing, on a Dog Day Afternoon, praying for Splendor in the Grass

Circle the sphere and the credits are near and the actors all wear their street clothes
What a shock! What a circus you’ve got. Sweep up and lock before you go
It’s all right boys. I’ll stick with my whiskey
