Apology In Advance - Guided By Voices

I apologize in advance

For the jigsaw’s missing teeth

For the animals in their holes, at least

There is argument in your eyes

So I’m loosening all my ties

The ones that you have come to despise

Throw the heat off

Bite me when I eat off

Someone else’s plate

It is now I should attempt

Perhaps to think and wait

Result to contemplate a fate

That’s waited this long for me

And the night’s too bright

To hide from sight

So I better get things right

I keep searching, turning on, equally frustrated

Hopelessness and sickness always, kick you up a storm

A disabled vet, well, I’m not there yet

Been around the block, I even threw up one street over

Absorbed in the holding cell, all blemishes exposed

With the plastic hand of man I can

Stepping up, I go limp at the sound of women laughing

Leaving me to speculate the odds of one last chance

To apologize in advance

I apologize in advance
