These are much closer to the real lyrics. I just listened to this song on my studio quality headphones and I can convincingly say that Brandon says: "Running out of Black Gold". And he isn't talking about "coffee", he's talking about Crude Oil, also known as black gold. Because in the next line he says: "It's high time I pulled over
and walked around a while". Basically this stanza is talking about being irresponsible. Just like the world is with crude oil, its time that we all walk around, use less of it, and become more responsible....

It makes much more sense with those lyrics.... especially compared to who ever thought it was "runnin' off black and goat". WTF!? LOL!! That poster must have been like, "What the heck is the song about!?". LMFAO.
These lyrics are much better than the what's posted. The only mistake I see is in the second line. It's "Running out of black gold" according to the booklet that came with the CD

By the way correctionerection, isn't it possible that he is running out of coffee (black gold) to stay awake, and that's why he has to pull over and walk around a while?

I'm a ne'er do well Running off black gold It's high time I pulled over and walked around a while
I've seen the porcelain shell Your exoskeleton And I feel like we walk well together
Because in the end, we are friends and lovers
If asked of me I would Gobble them to bits The things that wall us off from Where we belong
What's wrong with you is good for what's wrong with me and I think maybe we should stick together
Because in the end, we are friends and lovers We are friends and lovers
Abandon all the bones We've got to pick They'll only weigh us down and We are better than that
If they all throw stones Start a collection Of everything we're not And won't be-cause
You should never have to defend (never have to defend) Being friends and lovers Being friends and lovers (oh) Being friends and lovers
These are the correct lyrics. verbatim. I'm still a little unsure of the first line though.

Damn, I think the second line is "running out of black gold" (coffee)

Oh and the first line is definitely "I'm a ne'er do well". Here's the definition of a "ne'er-do-well": http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ne%27er-do-well

Correctionerection is right, but you make a good point Chief. I just assumed it was coffee without thinking too much about it.

I wonder why the lyrics haven't been fixed on the page yet. It's been quite awhile now.

I really love this song. I was sad they didn't play it in Atlanta in September. :[
