Flaming Lips - Chrome Plated Suicide lyrics

Kenny's got everything he needs

A lookout on life and plenty of schemes

Kenny's got everything he needs

Except for a life of sobriety

Kenny's got everything he needs

A lifetime of liberty and plenty of dreams

Kenny's got everything he needs

Except for a life of sobriety

It all started out when he was young

And Kenny started out on his first run

BPO and with nothing to lose

He chose a life of drugs and booze

It wasn't long before he lost it all

Everyone knew he'd take the fall

Now he's living down on skid row

With nowhere else for Kenny to go

Now he's 40 and got 4 months clean

But it wasn't much longer that he's back in the scene

Shooting up dope, trying to cope

He's burning both ends of his short rope

Once again, he don't care

He's looking twice as old with gray in his hair

The next thing I heard he did it again

He got 3 more years in his concrete friend

Kenny's got everything he needs

A lookout on life and plenty of schemes

Kenny's got everything he needs

Except for a life of sobriety

Kenny's got everything he needs

A lifetime of liberty and plenty of dreams

Kenny's got everything he needs

Except for a life of sobriety
