lyrics

and if heaven’s birds were falling right outside your walls
if it didn’t really hurt you would you notice it at all?

movement of mind
a little mind over matter
nothing matters to your mind

(got a little box of books right next to me
containing everything i ever learned written down
put em in there so i don’t even have to remember anything)

what’s this? extra large jumbo fries on the royal barge
and i know it’s for me
(add it to yer little “story”)

highlight
the highlight of my week
was asking you the time
(it’s two o clock)
it’s gonna rain

if heaven’s birds were singing would you sit around
with your field recorder out
there’s a car no there’s a truck passing
ruined the take

you could be like this
what’s so bad about bein’ the way i already am?
are you kidding yourself you little shit? you walk around with confidence
bout to get flipturned upside down when the earth turns the right way up
(how do they know which way is up?)

suicide
takes away all your attitude
could be good
and you should if you want to
and i know you could be
so bad
