Lyrics
A squat greek sips his ouzo
A Greek man drinks his ouzo while squatting.
Fingering his gold neck chain
He plays with his gold neck chain.
Robust corn-fed american beauties
America's robust, corn-fed beauties enjoy margaritas, licking the salty rim.
Lick the salty rim of margaritas
In the corner, a musician lies comatose.
In the corner lies a comatose musician
The musician is dreaming while on the job.
dreaming on the job again
A statement about dreaming on the job continues.
you can't buy love
Love cannot be bought.
But you can buy friends
However, friends can be bought.
upon her breast a shiny crucifix
A woman wears a shiny crucifix on her breast.
Holier than me I guess
She is perceived as holier than the speaker.
Sheds friends like a snake sheds skin
The woman loses friends easily, akin to a snake shedding its skin.
Her laughter sounds so venomous
Her laughter has a venomous quality.
In his corner lies the once proud musician
The once proud musician is now in a corner, comatose.
Thinking on the job again
He is thinking while on the job.
