Told You So

Told You So

Down in the old west side,

You get all high, puff, puff.

You fire up in the bathroom 

While Sister waits, puff, puff.

Blue Vee Dub runs well,

But you're baked, puff, puff. 

Really you can nod off, Baby,

Crash and die —puff…

Then that emptying, sighing 

Out, that quiet throb puffs,

A thousand times, Baby,

That puff puff puff,

A thousand times, Baby,

Puff puff puff. Puff.

I Told You So

Down in the old west side,

You get all high, puff puff.

You fire up in the bathroom 

While Sister waits, puff puff.

Blue Vee Dub runs well,

But you're baked, puff puff. 

Really you can nod off, Baby,

Crash and die —puff 

Then that emptying, sighing 

Out, that quiet throb puffs,

A thousand times, Baby,

That puff puff puff,

A thousand times, Baby,

Puff puff puff. Puff.
