this was one of the last tracks to be recorded. the lyrics were kind of rushed. the track's title (and chorus?) comes from eric ending all his text messages with "scout's honor!", and it's STILL FUNNY
(there is an mst3k reference in this song)
lyrics
two thousand miles
and a printed face
i hung a painting of you
in my mind's better days
you had eyes
like a cat's cradle
and i felt the need to run
but i don't think i'm able
so lay me down
in a field of screams
standing proud, standing tall
but trembling like a leaf
spare no soul
spare no life
because i spared nothing
i just lost my time
just wanna lose myself to drink and smoke
before i get too young to be old
scout's honor!
i keep this weather
positioned on my mouth
and i keep you inside
don't want to let you out
because it's easy to pretend
not to have a hope
yeah it's easier then
to not get your heart broke
sack of monkeys in my pocket
my sister is ready to go
sack of monkeys in my pocket
my sister is ready to go
just wanna lose myself to drink and smoke
before i get too young to be old
scout's honor!
