"Aw Yeah" Lyrics:
Aw yeah!
Blood is thick and piss is thin, I'm full of one but I'm not sure which.
Aw yeah!
Cast my line and pulled up teeth, sound violins, I wanted a ship.
Aw yeah!
Called the rain and asked her when? She's found love never see her again.
(Love won't last, crying again)
People trying to remember, how did it go?
People trying to forget, and what do you know?
People lost their lust for life, I'm a happening fan.
Let's fix our beds together.
Aw yeah!
Lost my feet but I stll run, my hands wear my shoes and my face is my butt.
Aw yeah!
Hound dogs, blood hounds, outta control, a hot dog's soft but it's still got bones.
Aw yeah!
Well I spit on my grave when I sleep with the twins, one's for loving, one eats my sins.
Aw yeah!
People trying to remember, how did it go?
People trying to forget, and what do you know?
Time and time I seen the light but I wanna explore.
Don't wanna lie in pastures.
I said hey!
I got one foot in the grave,
yeah one foot in the grave.
