And it's all over
Sin in the ratty air
I got suspended
Suspended in the air

I tried to kiss you
But you were never there
I went looking
Found you everywhere

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk

And it's all over
Sin in the ratty yard
No, there's no pressure
Force fed business cards

I tried to kill him
Tried to kill you, rock 'n' roll star
Founding a bad trip
Some corporate facade

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk

So now it's over
Envy the ratty star
'Cause that's a winner
Love that business car

You're still pretending
(Pretending)
Still sending those Christmas cards
And talking back there
Waiting at the bar

Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
Grass doesn't grow on a busy sidewalk
Violent and lazy, barbershop sport
