Fire Up The Weed

FIRE UP THE WEED

I’m embarrassed to say this relationship works
Because we never talk
Except for make me some eggs, bacon and toast
And aren’t you gonna wear socks

To be honest and true what I like about you is that you’re always high
You don’t care if we never get out of the house and neither do I

This must be the way we want it
This must be what we need
I’ll make the martinis
And you fire up the weed

I have so much guilt attached to how we began
And that’s what silences me
You were with someone else; I snatched you up for myself
Like the last piece of meat

Not that you didn’t jump at the chance, old dog that you are
But I opened the door, patted the seat and said get in the car

This must be the way we want it
This must be what we need
I’ll make the martinis
And you fire up the weed

I think that talking things through is overrated
I’d rather be blue and medicated

It took a few years and buckets of tears
For me to understand
Why your ex never once even complained
When I took her man

She was patiently waiting for a sucker like me to come onto the scene
I did her a favor and she’ll be forever grateful to me

This must be the way we want it
This must be what we need
I’ll make the martinis
And you fire up the weed
We’ll keep each other out of circulation
Doing mankind a very good deed
