Want for Anything (Insurance)

I took the money that they sent me
to get a ticket home,
and I bought a xylophone.
I took the groceries that they bought me
threw them in the Mississip:
snapping turtles, fish and chips.

I don't want a girl with health insurance, cause I
don't wanna want for anything.

Fine meals eating from the trash can
a diploma as my napkin
thought you were looking thin
And then, when you did a headstand
through your ribs I saw your heartbeat

we lost our heads but kept our feet.

I don't want a girl with health insurance, cause I
don't wanna want for anything.

One night standing by the river,
had to hop some chain-link,
don't those fences make you think.
Cold enough to make you shiver
the water bears the trash away,
and I don't think that I can stay.
