My Debut Novel

My eyes look like I spent a lifetime vacuuming casinos
Cuz my mom bought ‘em from a waitress
Who ripped them out of her first husband face
It’s payback for that time he slapped her sister’s ass
After a bad run in Keno
She spent the money on a flat screen
Bought some toilet paper and paper napkins
And the last installment of her mother’s chemo

After I finish my debut novel, American Misery
I’ll hang myself in an Air BnB in Tivoli
And all the crickets sang

I’ll do anything for money now mhm oh (Repеat)

I’ll do anything
Do anything
Oh no

I’ve been stripping wallpaper on foreclosеd houses
All the live long day
They missed the last bank payment
Long after mom OD’ed in the basement
Now I get thirteen bucks an hour
Scrapping off the last of her flowers
I wish the rent was heaven sent
Cuz pennies from hell smell like they were soaked in pig’s blood Now the wall where she marked her kids height
Is a death like heavenly white

After my daughter sells the rights to my novel, American Misery She’ll duet with her dead dad
Singing the night is full of mystery
And all the crickets sang

I’ll do anything for money now mhm yeah
I’ll do anything for money now mhm oh (Repeat)

I’ll do anything
Do anything
Do anything
Do anything

I’ve been stripping wallpaper on foreclosed houses
All the live long day
