Sex Sells and (Unfortunately) I'm Buying Lyrics

I don't mean this like it sounds. I can't stand up, I can't sit down. I'm only half, half as fast as I was yesterday. The tighter the shirt, the better it is. A carrot and stick type of thing, I have already got my hands in the pig farm.

Cut the kid some slack, cut the kid some cake.
There was nothing to feel, nothing to hold..yeah.

Nasty habits rule this place, and of course the Walk of Shame. It's something that you may or may not understand. All at once clean and compact, flipping through the stations. I heard some rapper once say there's a message in everything.

It's just like liquor stores, mailboxes and payphones, whenever you need them, they are impossible to find.

Such an incredible song. Nobody gives it enough credit. "it's just like liquor stores, mailboxes and payphones, whenever you need them they are impossible to find." Classic. Too bad Travis is having throat surgery in a few days. :-(

I think this song is about depression or despair. About not knowing where you are in life, what to do, and are lost.

I heard some rapper once say there's a message in everything. It's just like liquor stores, mailboxes and payphones, whenever you need them, they are impossible to find. ---I think this is about trying to find the message, the meaning, but whenever you need it, it isn't there.

That's my opinion, at least.

The beginning of this song sounds like someone just talking about getting older - it being harder to stand and sit, or being slower. Not really old, just out-of-prime old. I can't figure out if the middle part is a direct reference to paying for sex or just an allusion to sex in the media/etc. I also love the last part about meanings.

And the horn fadeout/in. Awesome.
