tell me who's to blame for the ink spot ,?, blood-stained sleeves in the parking lot / i've had it since i was twelve and i wear it like hell / wash it when it gets worn, dirty, tattered, and torn / fell in love with me and it wears me with pride / we bathe in ultra tide when i start to feel guilty / and everyone's jealous 'cause they wish they had it / i'm half a man without it / yeah i'm the king of style, you know / yeah i'm / yeah i'm / i'm down and out / and i'll keep on wearing my marathon shirt / and i'll wear it everday til it hurts / and i got no lady over her / confidence-a-plenty in my marathon shirt / once loaned her to a friend for a party and i worried all night like a mother does / and when she returned, all wrinkled and helpless, she smelled of cheap cigarettes and other drugs / now i'd wear her in any season / i'd wear her for any reason / the only promise in my life's that shirt of mine / and day after day, as her colors fade away, i'll remember what she felt like the first time, you know / that i'm / yeah i'm / i'm down and out / and i'll keep on wearing my marathon shirt / and i'll wear it everday til it hurts / and i got no lady over her / confidence-a-plenty in my marathon / now i've come to lay you down / you can soak into the sound and i'm so elated / she can't be recreated and the water's turning brown / my baby she's no hand-me-down / and the clothes keep going round ~
