lyrics
I awake to the siren's whine
In the middle of the day it's about that time
To look out the window where the puppets hang
From the subway lines to the subway lanes
Leading to a place where purple plants peer
Through the cracks along railroad tracks
Instead i'll spend time by the shore
With an old friend who's never seen it before
From the roof top lot eyes spied towards the scenery
Arguments rise out the sighs too easily
Wishing i could switch my pitch
But i'm not rich i'm just discouraged
When i look down i view the hair upon my upper lip
Slipping out of consciousness is often not so obvious
I should have listened to my mother
But the English put you in my colour
I awake to the AC's whir
In the middle of the night my vision a blur
I head to the kitchen fetch a glass
Of some chemical water they claim is the best
I feel like a bad luck penny in a fountain
Ruining the fortune of anyone who's found him
Turns out life really isn't that crazy
Turns out i'm just really that lazy
From the roof top lot eyes spied towards the scenery
Arguments rise out the sighs too easily
Wishing i could switch my pitch
But i'm not rich i'm just discouraged
When i look down i view the hair upon my upper lip
Slipping out of consciousness is often not so obvious
I should have listened to my mother
But
