I was a real live wire on a very loose wig Not a good combination in the best of times I had no real plans, no trouble in mind Just a real fat wallet my modus operandi
Then i woke up - seatin' and lost Ya know i sear that it's true The sun was shining in my eyes Reflectin' off a gold tooth I said oh man... it was a ferocious morning
Well i remember the money quintessential moans Yesterday's perfume tells me i ain't alone Then i hear that fool's bellow pounding at the door I had my heart in my mouth when my feet hit the floor
Taste of cotton - and gasoline All down in my thirty two No time for stoppin' - i gotta beat the scen I think this window will do I said oh man... what a ferocious morning
The heat was oppressive, ninety nine in the shade I hit the bricks runnin', hip-hoppin' away I needed some magic so i turned into a bar Was the misery minute down at the happy hour
My head screamed for a cough syrup cocktail But i settled on a deep well gin Don't recall it all... i think it was fun But i don't wanna go there again Oh man... what a ferocious morning
