Do It Again
Me And You And Everyone We Know Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few drinks to calm me down
To settle my gut, to work up a smile
Because your bones are shaking baby, it agitates my nerves
I'm feeling reckless
And I feel the need to stress this,
I'm stepping out
Well tonight, I'll be a classic work
Like Edgar Allen Poe
I'll die on these streets of Baltimore
As a beggar, john, or buyer
Look, I'm just trying to score
But at least I won't be out alone
I'm with my uncle and his mother
And the rest of my family's history is with me shouting "Have another!"
Now I'm taking all the liberties I was too scared to before
I've accepted that we're just chemicals
Now bend over and touch the floor
Plan A: has got a boyfriend, but she melts to my touch
Plan B: has got a crush as much as she's got a lust
Plan C: well, god forgive me, but she just lives to fuck
I'll just act like I'm not in control
I'm feeling reckless and I feel the need to stress this
I'm stepping out
And I'll take this, drink think, do this, smoke this
Fuck you while we're somebody else
But at least I won't be out alone
I'm with my uncle and his mother
And the rest of my family's history is with me shouting "Have Another!"
Now I'm taking all the liberties i was too scared to before
I've accepted that we're just chemicals
Now bend over and touch the floor
Shut up and dance,
Miss sings in her sleep, miss moves to my beat,
What kind of secrets are we keeping tonight?
Because he's not here and he's not waiting up
How about another spin around the floor?
But at least I won't be out alone
I'm with my uncle and his mother
And the rest of my family's history is with me shouting "Have Another!"
Now I'm taking all the liberties i was too scared to before
I've accepted that we're just chemicals
Now bend over and touch the floor
Be sure I'm slutting it up
'Cause I know loves not enough
Yeah, I'll be outside the bar
Hopes for the back of her car
'Cause she's got wandering eyes, but much more curious lips
And I'm still betting every dime she answers
As her skirt slides over her hips
