Too Much Joy – That's A Lie lyrics

"Thanksgiving in Reno" by Too Much Joy
From the album, "Cereal Killers"

At the $5.99 buffet
In reno on thanksgiving day
nobody seemed to care
why anyone else was there

me and my buddy jay
watched bad cover bands play
got little drinks for free
kept betting on twenty-three

we got drunk
we got sad
i met a girl who
said she could save me

she said "i am a hug
i wrap around you and i scrub
you're made of dirt my dear
i scrub until you disappear

that's what absolution means"
she put a dollar in a slot machine
three triple bars came up we won six
hundred bucks

we got stoned
we had sex
i dreamt that i was
evel knievel
