dream vacation
(written by bill passalacqua)

well i've got a bad guitar with a voice all it's own
i've got a great singer but she's way too stoned
i've got a flag on a decal on my cadillac
i'll write you that song just as soon as i get back

i've got a pretty little waitress with a wrinkle for a nose
a hopeful smile and loose panty hose
i told her i was married to a one legged troll
i lied to and loved her, i left her in a hole

and i say give me back my money, give me back my time
i'd call my big brother if i only had a dime
he'd grab you by the rapture and punch you in the fun
he'd put you on your pony and shoot you on the run

i've got a ring in my pocket where the skoal left a mark
a hope in my shirt from a renegade spark
lackeys haul my guitar and kiss my blistered ass
since the dj moved us to the top of the classs

i've got a monkey with a xylaphone, i've got a hampster in a cage
a drummer in the big house and my wife in a rage
my student loan payments have gone way over-due
but i didn't learn a thing until i hit that road with you

the angel in my head has gone on vacation
he swears he won't come back until i change the bloody station
i loaded up his furniture and sent him down the road
but i can bring him back once i hit that mother load

so give me back my money, and give me back my time
i'd call my big brother if i had a quarter and a dime
he'd grab you by the rapture and punch you in the fun
he'd put you on your pony and shoot you on the run
