12. Disaster Man

DISASTER MAN
By Andrew Lilly © 2017 ASCAP

I love to watch a car crash, the sound of breakin’ glass
Thunder and lighting, explosions are a gas
Disaster Man

Earthquakes make me smile, a hurricane’s a thrill
Fiery airplane crash into the side of a hill, I love
Disaster Man, Disaster Man

Rain storms, rivers ragin’, mud slides, broken bridges,
Dam rights, a deer in the headlights
Disaster Man, Disaster Man

Train wrecks are cool, so are squealin’ tires
I love danger, excitement, ragin’ fires
Disaster Man

But when the shoeshine hit the fan, I was standin’ in the wind
Open mouth, Yum, yum, eatin’ it again

She took the house and kids, I get to pay all the bills
Looked the D.A. in the eye, said I was drunk and on pills
(It was two beers and a Tylenol..)

She took all the furniture and the car
All I go left is this beat up old guitar
(And it’s a freakin’ air guitar)

I.R.S. says I’m nine years late
When they found that phone back account, it sealed my fate
Disaster Man, Disaster Man

Tie my arms and legs, make sure the tank is full
Throw me in the trunk and gag me with a mouthful…of
Disaster Man, Disaster Man, Disaster Man, Disaster Man

So now I’m broke and on the street, just askin’ for quarters
Never was good at takin’ any orders
That’s your on and only, only slightly delusional
Disaster Man
