lyrics
Brake lights swarm the dying morning
I taste toothpaste, give or take, 100 feet behind
a school bus, stumbling down the avenue
Not a clue
My bloodshot, blue-green eyes, they took their views
& not a hothead; not a harried hotrod could see it to pass through
that humble, flashing sign
& there lies the common care we hide
& we hide
3 cheers 4 the internet ///
#Hooray!
Who's still left in the quiet game?
Who's next in blame for the daily doomsdays
of every poor man's Hemingway?
Is it you?
- - - - -
Hey, let's live in fear of Monday
Let's watch our parents work their lives away
&, hey, lets do the same!
It don't seem so painful
Are you losing patience with the cool kids?
Taking their candids not so candidly, singing,
“Everybody look at me! I'm your cup of tea!
Don't I seem so tasteful?"
- - - - -
Let's keep our keepsakes safe,
& fix what's fine until it broke
Safe for keepsakes' sake,
correct me if I'm wrong
Good rain to have a roof in,
good noose not to loosen, until you fall
Down goes the mountain
& down I'm going, too, with everything I own
I'm swallowed, whole
I taste toothpaste, give or take, 100 feet behind
a school bus, stumbling down the avenue
Not a clue
My bloodshot, blue-green eyes, they took their views
& not a hothead; not a harried hotrod could see it to pass through
that humble, flashing sign
& there lies the common care we hide
& we hide
3 cheers 4 the internet ///
