Unicorn Odyssey

The first time i saw you
you worked selling hot dogs and stealing your mom's vcr
you sold your nintendo for a [bad word] [bad word] set
that you sold for a [bad word] car
i remember you hitting your girlfriend
once or twice when she got in your face
 [bad word] sell us weed or you'd just watch tv
and she'd sit in your chevy and wait

the first time i saw you
you worked at the lakeview with that guy with those bad tattoos
someone had broken your heart
and you worked it out [bad word] the regular
your smile was amazing, your apartment was tiny
your arms and your back were all [bad word] 
sometimes you wore glasses
that you didn't like over eyes that were sparkly blue

howdy stranger, how ya been?
a million distant memories of a million distant friends

the last time i saw you
we split a pitcher or two at some hillbilly bar
your heart was all shattered
your hair was all greasy and long and your hands were all hard
i remember saying to dump your girlfriend
she was making both of us sick
it's not a lot, but it's what i got
it's harder and harder to stick to the script

it's harder these days
it's harder to stay
