A young man named Adam
Watches his city unfold
He doesn’t know anybody,
His time it travels so slow
He steps onto a subway
His stonewashed denim intact
And upon his arrival
He owns nothing but the shirt off his back
Inspiration strikes,
in the most peculiar times
Inspiration strikes, and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la
A young woman named Jolene
Labeled as the homecoming queen
But life after high-school,
Financial situation turned lean
She steps out onto a ledge
Her life flashes before her eyes
But in the back of her, apartment
She can hear her 8 month old cry
Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la
Well life can go by,
slow or quick
But believe me darling, we are all a little terminally sick
Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la
Well curse these weathermen
It rained a whole week straight,
So I’m packing my bags
I do not appreciate
This black hole of a town
Always dragging me down
So I’m headed out west
I guess I’ll see you around
Inspiration strikes in the most peculiar times
Inspiration strikes and oh man I’d bet a dime, it got ya singing
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la, la la la

Crazy, unwritten bitterness
With loving eyes and willingness
But shot back down cause she’s as cold as ice
Its not a thing from past relations
Nor an issue from her grown frustrations
She’s the queen of breaking hearts, and she knows it
But time goes one and we’re only getting older
Bundle up cause its only getting colder
Try to succeed in a world full of doubt
And if you see her don’t try to speak
Timing often seems kinda bleak
She’s gonna go, if she’s gonna go
She'll try to bring you down
But you’ll never let her go
Cause whiskeys, sweeter than water
Don’t cha know?
She’ll leave you lifeless, laying on the floor
Grab the diamonds head out the door
That thief is on the run from town to town
Loving her can be a pain, but
Don’t go jumping outta moving trains
She’ll hit ya, she'll hit ya bad
Maybe its just the type of dream
One that you may never see
You’re caught up in your own desires
She'll try to bring you down
But you’ll never let her go
Cause whiskeys, sweeter than water
Don’t cha know?

Starving yourself for the information
For your husband, for your king
Slaving yourself for the implantation
All you wanted was to be a queen
Why can’t you see us anymore?
Said the child to the refugee.
Why can’t you listen anymore?
All I wanted was to be free
Why can’t I be free? Why can’t I be free?
Theres people living on different degrees
People are assholes, people are smart
Theres people living with broken hearts
The victim gets disregarded in the promise of the night
Don’t screw this up shouts the mistress to the wife
Why can’t you see, he just wants to be free?
He don’t love you like he used to.
And after 16 years, we say “Enough is enough”
While the bar yells out closing time
People are assholes, People are smart
Theres people living with broken hearts (x2)

Oh my god, I’m cutting teeth
Been this way since elementary
The pain it shrieks, and consumes me
Oh my god, I’m cutting teeth
Oh my god, I’m making a mess
Of all that I have been, all that I have left
Is a lifetime full of regret
Oh my father I’m a walking mess
How do you feel when you’re all alone
If you’re living in an empty house, it aint a home
Come on over? Try a piece of me
I’m as sweet as apple pie, I’m as mean as bitter tea
Oh my god, I’m cutting teeth
Been this way since elementary
The pain it shrieks, and consumes me
Oh my god, I’m cutting teeth
