[Verse 1]
Be careful that you don't
Use up your ninth one
We all were careless once
We all were careless once
[Verse 2]
It can't be too much fun
Just going 'round once
It all can slip away
One banana peel away
[Verse 3]
You left this big ol' void
Sure miss your sweet voice
Gone into the void
We all were careless once
We all were careless once
We all were careless once
We all were careless once
We all were careless once
[Instrumental Break]
Woo
[Applause]
[Outro]
Somebody hear it, I can hear it, yeah, I do
We're gonna—
We've been in the studio for a couple weeks and, uh
We've, uh, knocked out a bunch of our record
So, if y'all don't mind, we're gonna play a bunch of songs (Yeah) off of that this evening (Yeah, woo)
The record's gonna be called "Decoration Day" and, uh
It'll probably be next year 'fore it comes out or nothin'
'Cause we still got that damn rock opera we gotta contend with
Hahaha, haha
So, uh, I guess this song's gonna be the first song on the record and, uh
This song was, uh
Written about the only two people in America currently servin' time for consensual brother-sister incest (Woo-hoo)
And, um, this song
And it's set in— (Don't knock it)
And it's set in Michigan, and it's set in Michigan
So, uh, this song's called "The Deeper In"
I'm just pissed I don't have a sister
Haha
