Dishes in the Dark

Lyrics: Fredrick James Mullis, Jr. Music: Fredrick James Mullis, Jr. Well, I wash my dishes in the dark One big old shiny stain I can't tell apart But come October, I just might get sober Well, I thought admitting was the hardest part And I don't wash my hair hardly at all But I could split a hair with a cannonball I guess I'd compare it to a half bald heretic Writing on the fence whichever way it falls And this dirt, this dust, this rust It's what I'm all about Lust, disgust, a bust Well hell, I guess that's just my rock Oh, I won't wash up, I just wash out Oh, I won't wash up, no I just wash out And I keep the dirt under my nails Makes most men think I'm a man And it freaks out the females It stays embedded and I stay unwedded It's a better bet than just heads or tails And I wash my dishes in the dark One big old shiny stain I can't tell apart It's way past October and I'm still not sober Well, I thought admitting was the hardest part Yeah, I thought admitting was the hardest part
