Lyrics My Greatest Fear Is Splendid (feat. Keith Buckley) - Say Anything feat. Keith Buckley

My greatest fear is a splendid thing
It′s an image of a middle aged "me" with an earring
Playing shows to an empty bar
While the bottle waits grinning by the shadow of a pop star
My girlfriend is a stripper named Steve
Lost Sherri though I begged "don't leave"
She moved to Italy with Johnny Depp
He swooped in quick on his jet when she left

Oh god I′m smoking whatever they put in front of me
Three hundred pounds with a swollen frown
Mumbling verses just swimming through the ground

I invite you to dethrone me
You've all had enough of me
Had enough of me
Had enough of me
Your eyes do a one eighty you will turn away from me
Put your spear in me
Put the fear in me

Old magazine by the Bemis toilet
Strategically placed for those who don't know yet
That I thought I′d be the next Billy Joel
My attempt to emulate him was thwarted by my ego
The Twins are long gone, Parker ain′t rung yet
Adam driven back to the arms of a Beckett
I'm a piss poor father so Lucy don′t call
My baby don't call
She never calls at all

And oh gosh I′m drinking
Like every man in my bloodline
Chris found me in a puddle of brine
I said "Don't worry, Conley. Swear I′m fine"

I invite you to dethrone me
You've all had enough of me
Had enough of me
Had enought of me
Your eyes do a one eighty you will turn away from me
Put your fear in me
Put the fear in me

They say good things only happen to good people
Well I guess that's why I worry
It′s only a fear
It′s only a premonition, dear
Slowing down, I'm in no hurry
Jesus dude, you smell like curry
Yeah!
I invite you to dethrone me
You′ve all had enough of me
Had enough of me
Had enought of me
Your eyes do a one eighty you will turn away from me
Put the fear in me
Put the spear in me
