Please Don't Mistake My Arrogance for Shyness Lyrics

so how's lettin' yourself go been goin'?
i see you still carry yourself like an oil painting.
and trust every night worth its only tomorrow
still hanging yourself out all the time.
between my true friend,
my new love, and me
the drink'll help you talk, but it won't let you think.
it's quite a lot when it's all we got.
and i do trust we never even know when we were lying.
with every superstition to only our advantage,
some trouble always sounds good.
it's quite a lot when it's all we got.
oooooh la la
here's to all the people with diseases.
oooooh la la
here's to all our mistaken fates.
oooooh la la
what we thought was quiet health was just a lethal belief.
so how's lettin' yourself go been goin'?
i see you're still making too many new friends to keep.
but if my drunken logic won't protest,
my drunken wisdom just might bet my memories
all the kids will still all look the same.

awesome song but a few mistakes -- I'm getting this from the lyric sheet in "The Intelligent Design of" and I'm following its line breaks and punctuation.

okay, thanks, although it's been over 6 years since i put these lyrics up. lol i was going just by ear on all of the JOA lyrics i posted (which can be baffling sometimes), because most of the time i'll have the CD before it's released.
