Stop. Hey, why are you acting so bitter
Stars aren't so aligned in your favour
Bad luck, from spring until winter
Breathe in sweet relief
Found myself a new pair of sneakers
Hanging off of a telephone wire
Little bit loose, but they'll do until school
It's so hard to leave
Believe me, I'd love to stay, and keep things this way,
But lately, I've come to thinking, only to sink.
I'm thinking, of all the sounds I need to see
I'm fading, further away from who I should be
I've got quite a few tricks up my sleeve
My left wears crocodile scales
I know of the pastern of Blueskin
Bandaging that bruise
Coasters on the new coffee table
We didn't miss a spot guaranteed
Cellophane smiles will walk on for miles
Even I've tried, and I got this far
Do you see a wall of everything
Or do we all stay quiet, distract ourselves
Unpack and relax, put your feet up, or don't sit back at all.
Say you ain't tough, your hands are rough, your bones will stand to fall.
Holding it all for the big boss
Being lost is a low life loss.
Finding love on long drive home
I need someone who will bury my bones
I see someone who will bury my bones.
