Text: Mike Doughty. Sad Man Happy Man. Pleasure on Credit.

Scratch less, stepped from the accident
Looking for a place near the path to rent
Champion time waster
Give up the claim, not chased nor chaser

Popped ya with a dull lead pencil
Dig up the dirt with a small utensil
Gotta do it on foot, not vehicular
Get a snack but I'm not particular

I'm not shy, I'm a player, shunner
Ronald Reagan and a space ray gunner
Raise the super eminence
Fell asleep in a video conference

Fat man, shit outta luck
Seek the favor of the muckity mucks
I got fun, fun persuasion
Smart girl, not the crazy one

Blast faster plaster postmaster
Go bleeker union aster
And Yes, I'm made of corn and wheat
Boots on, tramp on the street

Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Pleasure on credit
Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
Pleasure on credit

Get sad but don't get glum
Don't sleep slurpin' on the laudanum
Slutty fat girls in wedges
John Paul Jones, bustle in the hedge

Late night, cold rock thriller
Roll up the world like a pillar
My fluid is spinal
Yes, I'm better, yes, that's final

Cannot prove nor cannot jerk
Mellow man and men at work
Got the best of the new of the next iteration
Get together like a unification

Well, I'm a coaster, you're a flume
Yes, I blossom, yes, I bloom

Get wide because I'm spacious
Got words but not loquacious
I do not shimmy, do not sulk
Throw around your incredible bulk

Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Pleasure on credit
Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
Pleasure on credit

Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Get lifted, yeah, I get lifted
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid

Chase, chase the mermaid
Chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
Chase, chase the mermaid
