"See what I mean...?" "I can't keep up with that stuff..." [Verse 1] Dear Scuzzy, I packed my coat and my courage, Left this note by the whiskey glass. You were sleeping, hair like purple thunder, And I just stood there, scared to ask— What a hyena ever saw in a fool like me, With my clean, smooth hooves and my shaking knees. You deserve a mess that’s earned his stains, So I’m hitting the road till scuzz cakes my flippin' mane. [Chorus] Dear Scuzzy, don’t you cry for me, I’ll find the dirt where I’m meant to be. When I’m cracked and rough and half insane, Maybe I’ll come back singing your gosh darn name. [Verse 2] You taught me how to love the broken, How to laugh through every jam. But I’m still too neat, still too hoping, Still afraid of who I am. You chug down fire, I sip the rain, You dance on graves, I'm trapped in my brain. You're soaked in sin, I flinch in fear— That ain't fair to you, I gotta disappear. [Chorus] Dear Scuzzy, don’t you wait for me, I gotta learn your filthy creed. When I can splash and thrive in the cesspool, I’ll come back more than just some striped mule. [Bridge] I’ll sleep under bridges, talk to the rats, Trade my stripes for grimy brown shellac. Crawl in the quagmire, fetid and debased, Till the scuzz feels right on my zebra face. [Final Chorus] [gentle warm male vocal, aching with regret, exaggerated vibrato] Dear Scuzzy, this might be the end, I can't keep up with this pretend. But if I can be baptized in the slurry, Then I'll be back as the zebra you deservey. [Soft outro] Dear Scuzzy… Don’t forget me. "To be continued!"
