i made a fool of myself today
because tom petty died before he did not die
after he died but before he didn't die

i completely gave up at work
my plans to get my **** together
fell through the minute i overheard tom petty had died

i walked home needing to get ******
and delay my plans of cleaning up my act

and now here i am
******, paranoid, and frightened
i didnt realize, i didn't realize
how much i've thrown away
or how much i had to throw away

i just kept right on chasing the ****
then i landed some place bad
and tom petty just died again
i kept up with my interest
i kept up with my payments
