Ode to the Scumbag

[Verse 1]
He yanked the comb he found through his knotted greasy hair
Looking out the window with a long uneasy stare
Maybe she had died, but he really didn't care

[Refrain]
Haha

[Chorus]
You like uppers, I like downers, that's what governs our encounters (Up, down, up, down)
You like uppers, I like downers, we forget ourselves for hours (Up, down, up, down)
That really wasn't much to unpack (Up, down, up, down)
That's just what it's like to be a scumbag (Up, down, down, up)

[Post-Chorus]
Sheets are all full
Of sweat stains
I had another of
Those dreams

[Verse 2]
Of course she wasn't sleeping, she had wandered through the night
Complaining on the corner that she didn't choose this life
Driven by anger, just confused with who to fight

[Refrain]
Haha

[Chorus]
You like uppers, I like downers, that's what governs our encounters (Up, down, up, down)
You like uppers, I like downers, we forget ourselves for hours (Up, down, up, down)
It really wasn't much to unpack (Up, down, up, down)
That's just what it's like to be a scumbag (Up, down, down, up)

[Outro]
I think I'm having
Chest pains
I had another of
Those dreams
It's getting hard
To explain
I don't know what
This means
