lyrics

Nice, But Not Too Nice

You screwd it up you took the rap
extremes r what turnd people on
you push too hard youd blow the scene out
of the water off the beam
Midway is a better way
When going all the way’s too far to go

Half a cup of coffee
Half a glass of beer
Half the time I’m with you
I wish you’d disappear
Half a box of chocolate
Half a shot of Jack
Half an case of this good time
Makes me want you back
Oh baby but

But nice but not too nice
Be clean but still smell good
Be hot but not too hungry
Keep yr motor runnin

Yr Dad he is a vodka man
+ Momma’s on yr back
You get a job + smile a lot
Got outa town ain’t goin back
Midway is a better way
When going all the way’s too far to go

Half a hit of XTC
Half a pack of smokes
Half a pint of ice cream
‘S nuf to make you choke
Be careful what you wish for
You know it might come true
They say the art of less is more
Is the guru thing to do
When the guru is you
