Oh, pour me another drink
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
In the concentration camp where my organs scream "slow down, man"
Ooh, how was I to know
Milk and honey flowed
Just a couple states below
Ooh
Oh, hook me up to the tank
And roll me to the door
I'm going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I'll put away a few
And pretty soon I'll be breaking things like Howard Hughes
Ooh, how was I to know
Milk and honey flowed
Just a couple states below
Ooh, give me how it was
Our place under the sun
Before the devil made me run
Run boy, run boy
Ooh
And punch me in the face
You can call me Nancy
Every man wears a symbol
And I know I have mine
I've got my right hand stamped
In the concentration camp where my organs scream "slow down, man"
Ooh, how was I to know
Milk and honey flowed
Just a couple states below
Ooh
Oh, hook me up to the tank
And roll me to the door
I'm going where my body leads me
I can fend for myself
With what looks I have left
I'll put away a few
And pretty soon I'll be breaking things like Howard Hughes
Ooh, how was I to know
Milk and honey flowed
Just a couple states below
Ooh, give me how it was
Our place under the sun
Before the devil made me run
Run boy, run boy
Ooh

What Tillman told Matt Pinfield at MTV Hivecast about this song: "It's one of those things that I wrote in the first few months of basically blowing up my life and moving. It's breezy, but it has that 'punch me in the face' stuff. That's just how I felt. That song is just about destroying everything - destroying your identity, destroying your body, destroying your reputation - with casual looks back."
My question is... what's his "symbol"? ;)
@prettybird his symbol is the stamp on his hand that allows him reentry at the bar if he goes outside to smoke.
