Lyrics

1ST
I WAS EATING THREE EYED FISH
AT A BAR IN NEW YORK
WITH AN OLD MOVIE STAR ON LIFE SUPPORT
LOOKING AT A MAP
TRYING NOT TO GET OFF COURSE

I ASKED MY FRIEND WHAT DIRECTION TO TAKE
HE SAID STICK TO THE LEFT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
YOU'RE IN PURGATORY
AND YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT

I KNEW THEN BUT I WASN'T SURE
IF I'D LOST THE BATTLE
OR I WON THE WAR

2ND
THERE WAS ENERGY
AND BLOOD ON MY SHOES
THERE WAS A MILLION PEOPLE
WITH NOTHING TO LOOSE
IN NEW YORK CITY
SNIFFING COCAINE
IN THE BASEMENT WITH THE BLUES

I KNEW THEN BUT I WASN'T SURE
IF I'D LOST THE BATTLE
OR I WON THE WAR

I KNEW THEN BUT I WASN'T SURE
IF I'D LOST THE BATTLE
OR I WON THE WAR

3RD
AND THE PRETTIEST THING I THINK I SAW
WAS ANDY FRIEDMAN'S SISTER IN LAW
I WENT BACK TO MISSISSIPPI
TO SHARPEN MY CLAWS

I KNEW THEN BUT I WASN'T SURE
IF I'D LOST THE BATTLE
OR I WON THE WAR

I KNEW THEN BUT I WASN'T SURE
IF I'D LOST THE BATTLE
OR I WON THE WAR
