I don't care if you do drugs
a donut shop
a nice middle aged man
and that glazed look I’ve heard
some come back with
but never discuss
what do your tattoos mean
strong arms also covered
up and down
everyone in town says he helped
with the troop withdrawal
high ranking in service
this place has great reviews
and asks about our band
my sister dated the guy from Tool
I don’t care if you do drugs
I don’t care if you do drugs
and says it a third time
I don’t care if you do drugs
he tells me Guy from Tool
had a tab of acid on his tongue at dinner
plays his sister’s music
it’s progressive metal
I see how she dated Guy from Tool
tells my band to link up
hands me his donut card
what did you do before doing donuts
here’s your iced chai
that’s the americano
here’s my cinnamon sugar
tell me when she’s in town
you could do great things together
