I'm New Here

Bill Callahan, Jimmy Roach

I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
But I'm new here
Will you show me around?

Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near 'bout impossible to forget
She said I had an ego on me
The size of Texas

Well, I'm new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small?

And I'm shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy
But I'm the closest thing I have
To a voice of reason

I met him at a party
He said the sweetest things
I was lonely and naive
I guess that's why I believed
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
Every word he said
