Dismemberment Plan

Dismemberment Plan


It coulda been good 
it coulda been something special 
it may have had real potential 
it never could show 
It coulda been great 
it could been something alright 
but we never did keep it that tight 
so whaddya know? 
I get up at 5am I so don't need those dreams that I used to have 

It coulda been swell 
it coulda been off the hook now 
if we ever had what it took now 
I haven't a clue 
I think it's as well 
we may have been on the right track 
finding all the pieces we lack 
but what can you do? 
Now I see that these are cards we drew some time ago, so if you don't know: 

I can do it anywhere with anyone at anytime don't you forget 
this is my life and it's going to be good, don't you know 
not a promise or a threat or an ultimatum, though I can do that too 
I'm just telling you, I've got this life I've got to live 
I'm just following through 

I dishonor the past 
being so loose with my time 
I could stand accused of high crimes 
in the court of the dead 
and I could be next 
on a page about to turn soon 
so I'm movin' my ass at high noon 
you heard what I said 
I could say I hope I'm not misread, but that's all right 
I'm quite OK with losing that fight
