Thanksgiving in Reno" by Too Much Joy

From the album, "Cereal Killers"



At the $5.99 buffet

In reno on thanksgiving day

nobody seemed to care

why anyone else was there



me and my buddy jay

watched bad cover bands play

got little drinks for free

kept betting on twenty-three



we got drunk

we got sad

i met a girl who

said she could save me



she said "i am a hug

i wrap around you and i scrub

you're made of dirt my dear

i scrub until you disappear



that's what absolution means"

she put a dollar in a slot machine

three triple bars came up we won six

hundred bucks



we got stoned

we had sex

i dreamt that i was

evel knievel
