Lyrics
Call me high
Call me drunk
Call me a two-pump fucking chump
God damn, just call
And if it's that
If it's this
Ring me pissed off yelling it never was at all
No courage, no courtesy
No simple ?we?re through?
Guess what
You, you...got some 'splainin' to do
Before you lie down
To share that bed
You really ought to change the sheets you know
How will you sleep
Werewolff in Sneath's clothes?
Of all the twisted ways to say we're through...oh hell no
You, you...got some 'splainin' to do
Before the drama, the drinks
And all my methods not to think
Of all the bedroom scenes and terror dreams
Relentlessly following and folding me
You could have told me
Before the vows, the ring
Before the very song I sing
Became a desperate and pathetic plea
For the return of the heart and time you stole from me
You should have told me
So call me high at midnight
Or smashed out your mind at noon
Anyhow, any hour
You better work up the courage soon
?Cause this skin is crawling and I have no clue just what I might...
Do, you...got some 'splainin' to do
