(Vic Chesnutt)
knowing what I know now
I should've had a cow
I didn't realize

you were to be despised
I must have been
one of history's stupidest men
'cause everything was perfect in my head
until the lead started hitting me
with benefit of hindsight
I can see your ass wasn't right
maybe I'm mighty dull
but you're pathological
I never guessed
you meant no, when you said yes
everything was perfect in my head
until the lead started hitting me
it didn't take long at all
until the zen started to to fall
all of the people you faked
suddenly saw their mistake
you never thought
that I could survive the shock
everything was perfect in my head
until the lead started hitting me
