There's a lady come lately
She's dancing with me in the street
And though I know we're both faking
I'm not waiting for loose ends to meet
See she's holding me close
And I don't even know her last name
And I might hate myself in the morning
But tonight it's okay
Spent the night at this party
With people that I hardly knew
And they were talking ambition
As I was listening my resentment grew
So I mulled in the corner
And drank 'till I wasn't afraid
And I said, 'I might hate myself in the morning,
But you're also a waste'
See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay
Hard lessons I learned on an October day
And I can't shake 'em off
I can't shake them off
So he said with a vengeance
'Hey you, why don't you keep your mouth shut'
And I said, 'What's gonna happen
You fat-assed fool, so then what'
So I followed him outside
And I made sure I took the first swing
Knowing tonight what's so god damn important
Doesn't really mean a thing
See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay
Hard lessons I learned on an October day
And I can't shake 'em off
No, I can't shake 'em off
Oh, I can't shake them off
I can't shake them off
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
