Ricky didn't come out until he was 25
because he didn't wanna do it while his dad was still alive.
I said, 'how'd you go so long without losing your mind?'
And he said he did it 12 fluid ounces at a time.
And you would not believe
how much my mouth can bleed.
But don't bring me any gauze, mama, I'll be all right.
If I lose 12 fluid ounces, I'm even on the night.
Jonny's got them means, but he ain't never had his ends.
He's good at writing books, but he is shit at keeping friends.
He says every day's a long, slow suicide
and he's gonna do it 12 fluid ounces at a time.
You would not believe
how much my mouth can bleed.
But don't bring me any gauze, mama, I'll be all right.
If I lose 12 fluid ounces, I'm even on the night.
There ain't no need to call no doctors, mama, I'm doing fine.
Gonna fill my veins back up,
and I'm gonna fill my brains back up
12 fluid ounces at a time.

Pick a favorite track they said. How? With so many fine songs it's easier to simply say, Listen for yourself, and buy the album. Along with the title song, there's Sacré-Coeur, Open Your Eyes, I Am A Good Man, Neighbor..., and of course, the magnificent, May 12th, 1916...; Listen for yourself - and buy the album! You won't regret it. jimlesses
