Boy Gone Bust

Boy Gone Bust


Polly Kazan got a new boyfriend
He's got heart full of Warfarin
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
You know, you know, you know the way that I see

Johnny B. Good and Rob Roberson
Called it love then let the trust funds win
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me

Seppuku Sam got a winning horse
Beat it to death as you do of course
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
You know, you know, you know the way that I see
Things play out
Just like they always do
It's not like I want to be right
Might I comfort you?
How would you trust a boy gone bust?
I won't lose you
If you were never mine to have
I won't...
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
You know, you know, you know what I will not be

Lenny burned down the revival tent
Then changed the names of the innocent
Had a public affair with his publicist
His finest work of fiction was a grocery list
Polly gave his eulogy in the Everglades
They shot him from a cannon full of retconed alocades
And Sam wanted a punchline without any joke...
I watched the alligators as they watched for a scapegoat
And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know me

Cordelia, must you be so gay?
These tempests give to take away
Yeah, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
You know, you know, you know the way that I see
Things play out
Just like they always do
It's not like I want to be right
Might I comfort you?
How would you trust a boy gone bust?
I won't lose you
If you were never mine to have
I won't...
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know me
