Desperate Times
[Verse 1]
You took a selfie with your dog this morning, you said
While you were sleeping in
Smoking a spliff in your bed
I never felt so much
From so little so quick
It seems too good to be true
Which means it probably is

You live in San Antone
I'm in Los Angeles
That ain't exactly close
Now that you mention it
I saved some sick days up
For a solo road trip
And Texas is on my list

[Chorus]
Cause when the big get weird, the weird get high
It's when you dance with death that you know you're alive
I've got some good mezcal and the will to survive
Yes these are desperate measures
But these are desperate times

[Verse 3]
I bought a camper van off of a teenage kid
Hail Mary to the gods, California Craigslist
Cashed out my bank account
Gave away all my shit
Just to shake things up
Just to scratch that itch
I probably should not say
Just how down I am
To meet you in the bathroom of a gas station
A thousand miles away from anywhere I've ever been
Just to feel like a human again

[Chorus]
Cause when the big get weird, the weird get high
It's when you dance with death that you know you're alive
I've got some good mezcal and the will to survive
Yes these are desperate measures
But these are desperate times

[Bridge]
How many glasses of wine
Over a six-inch screen
Before my will resigns
And my judgment recedes?
Across these divided states
Into a stranger's arms
Hail Mary keep me, keep me, keep me from harm

[Final Chorus]
It's when you dance with death that you know you're alive
I've got some good mezcal and the will to survive
Yes these are desperate measures
But these are desperate times
