Lying at your back door fast asleep
The end feels like the best part of your day
It seems the soapbox consumes you, and I get this nasty feeling
Like my teeth are upside down
I’ve seen it many times fer sure, you can’t pass on the toast,
And you wield your knife so freely that you’re bound to get your cut
Remember, nothing’s as hard as procrastination to procrastinate
Oh but, boss, it’s insane for the two of us to fight,
You’re so far gooned, you’re so far bloody gooned
I got a passenger reporting, “Move somewhere I can see you.”
Oh, biding time. For what, biding time?
Now see now, man, I told you: I seen this all before
And if the coast is clear, I’m certain that we could get there when we’re dry…
Lying on your back, sore, too much to take
Oh you write such nasty letters to horns within your head
I find myself entranced in every moment we can justify
As someone else’s fault
These songs I sing in someone else’s voice
I got a typical delusion, I’m someone else’s Christ.
Say something. Quit stallin’! Please say something!
Your heart must not stop pumpin’, crawling along the floor
And if I catch a suntan again,
Or my hands begin to wrinkle,
It’s a good time for me
To be somebody and somewhere
And I might mind the attention,
I could have the best intentions if we both try
Lost in the recognizance of my own eyes
Lost in the recognizance of my own eyes
I’m not certain we can get there.
But I’m willing.
Feeling comfortable in my own skin
Doesn’t have to fare so fuckin’ fruitless
Of course I‘m terrified
But it’s only the thoughts that I got,
And the lid upon my head somehow lets the air out
Enough for me to be somebody somewhere,
To be free - to be somebody somewhere
To be me – I’m certain that we could get there
Get up off your knees boy!
You’re so far gooned, you’re so far fuckin’ gooned
I got a passenger reporting, “Move somewhere I can see you.”
Oh, biding time... Quit stallin’! Please say something!
Your heart must not stop pumpin’, crawling along the floor
As long as we could get there…
