[Verse 1]
I heard you almost caved and cut your hair
Number 0 ‘til there's nothin’ there
You used to fight ‘em off all by yourself
Now it's World War 3 and you're out lookin’ for help

[Chorus 1]
On Cookman Ave
Everyone looks like you
They got all the same
Cheap, traditional tattoos

[Verse 2]
You stare at all the bricks behind the bar
Somebody else you name while you're tryin' to forget who you are
And your tongue is bloody, from fighting with your teeth
But I heard they're giving out Grammys to the one with the shortest speech

[Chorus 2]
On Cookman Ave
Everyone looks like you
They got all the same
Cheap, traditional tattoos

You cuff your jeans
Even though it's getting cold
But we both know
You only shave the parts that show
It's too much when you're all alone
[Bridge]
Since you left, I've been hanging out with worms
Makin’ friends with all the spiders
Started diggin’ a hole to China
Everyone just stares
But I think I'm almost there

[Chorus 3]
On Cookman Ave
Everyone looks like you
Still got all the same
Cheap, traditional tattoos

They cuff their jeans
Even though it’s getting cold
Well maybe you can teach me how
How to shave the parts that show
If you ever even come back home
