I met a boy in a bar last night
He smiled and I saw his wiggly tooth
I pulled it out put it under his pillow that night
The fairies came into his room
The fairies came
The fairies came
The fairies came that night
The fairies came into his room
Worked on a barge in Ontario
The captain was a slimy f--king drunk
We hit a reef, and it was scary-o
The oil all leaked out, and then we sunk
The fairies came
The fairies came
The fairies came that night
The fairies came and drove us home
I met a girl on the ferry boat
She had wings, and gold dust in her teeth
Then I reached down and felt her magic wand
And I realized that he was just like me
That fairy came
That fairy came
That fairy came that night
That fairy came to be my best friend Carl
Walked on a bridge
Walked on a bridge
Oh where's my bridge?
Yeah, yeah, one, two, three, four
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I got a job at a fast food joint
I sold Coke and straws by the pound
My fairy godmother laughed at me
And she kicked my sorry ass right out of town
She kicked my ass
She kicked my ass
She kicked my sorry ass
She kicked my ass right out of town
I met a boy in a bar last night
He smiled and I saw his wiggly tooth
I pulled it out put it under his pillow that night
The fairies came into his room
The fairies came
The fairies came
The fairies came that night
The fairies came into his roomYOU'VE BEEN AROUND
- Album: Black Tie White Noise
Where's the pain in the violent night?
I'm depressed by the grill
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted vile thing
It's the nature of being
It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell bad from wrong
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
When the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension
It's too many lonely nights
I can't tell good from bad
I can't pass you by
Too exchanging
You've been around
But you've changed me
You've been around
Can't pass you by
You've been around
But you've changed me
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!
Too exchanging
You've been around
but you've changed me
You've been around
can't pass you by
You've been around
but you've changed me
You've been around
can't pass you by
You've been around
but you've changed me
