No.
We don't use these on stage.
See, I went and robbed a body shop down here.
We dropped in on you and caught you like
We dropped in on this and caught us while we was a-workin'.

Well, you know, after you get along in life, you gotta have something to fall back on.
Well, I fell back a long time ago.

I didn't know whether to run or hide or what.
I figured you thought business was picking up.
