he remains in this sickly state
his mother helps him get dressed
brushes his teeth
gives him a list of tv shows he can watch
the dog is jumping on the fence
that he broke when he was ten
wrote a song that goes like "dun dun dun"
until he got tired of it
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired and
i'm getting tired of this

mother superior
mother superior
i want out
i'm ready for the letdown
i've been beat down enough to make sure
how a clash of generations fighting at the table
turned the whole world upside down, it goes like
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing and now i want out
i found a pac-man wristband
falcon ridge 2004 was cool, man
i'll start a new religion
the wristband is my icon
and we're all gonna express ourselves like
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing and now
i want out
mother superior
mother superior
i want out
i want out
mother superior
mother superior
i want out
that's the sound of an evil goddang spirit
that's the sound of a norwegian monkey-ghost
oh my god, there's a norwegian monkey-ghost
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing to represent myself
i'm picking out a thing and now
i want out

hey mister loserman

you haven't heard my great ideas

there's cold and then there's warm
the perfect trace
out in space
the coffee is just right
in golden mugs
harvest time, harvest time
the telstar heater is on
it's sending things
to our brains
electric is just fine
it warms us up
at harvest time, harvest time

a violent straw
pushed the wall street brokebacks
and happenstance
would never ever turn around to make them
again
this is the place
where i send my goons after you
there's no time
there's no time
there's no time
there's no time to make you
again
vermin in the corner
he is melting
please go stick him in the face
i don't have a breakfast
to go wonder
why he doesn't have a face
i cause a racket with my own three sons
(don't tell them money hurts the cause)

i started a war
i thought i'd let you know
a war on stolen blankets i took from your bed
hey i was just cold man
and i need the attention
i could never trust you
i know you would lie to me (yeah)
i can see into you
i know you would lie to me
cool deer, come here
help me get out of this bed
i'm so sick of trying and trying
to try some more again
and we know fools will win the war
and we know fools will win the war
you're having a drink
you're looking quite beastly
the cool deer's yet to free me
i'm not feeling good
my pallor has worsened
can't bear to turn the lights off
cool deer, come here
help me get out of this bed
i'm so sick of trying and trying
to try some more again
and we know fools will win the war
and we know fools will win the war
no, no, no, no, no baby
i don't think you heard what i said
cool deer, come here
help me get out of this bed
i'm so sick of trying and trying
to try some more again
and we know fools will win the war
cool deer, come here
help me get out of this bed
i'm so sick of trying and trying
to try some more again
and we know fools will win the war

i've just checked in to see if you are ok
it's been awfully quiet around your way
you've glued all the shutters and you've barricaded the doors
tell me, have you succumbed to all this culture
do you hate the latest crop of vultures
who make you forget just what you started all of this for
and "how bad do you want it?"
you're telling yourself every day
don't push it all away
i've just checked in to see if you are still there
if you're eating well and combing your hair
if you're letting degradation go in and out both ears
i think you should try to reignite this
i know that it's getting hard to fight this
it's that one night of the year where it all works and you still feel sorry
save your sorry state
for the break of dawn
for the break of
save your sorry state
for the break of dawn
for the break of

custodial room
freezing pipes
popcorn residue
i've been someone i'm not
you will surely show them
playing guitar
with a facerot pin
crossroads hallway floor
it's where we make sense
where you will always find me
down in it
you were down in it
singing songs of shock and upholstery
up on it
i was up on it
how was i supposed to know what i was
gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
down in it
you were down in it
singing songs of shock and upholstery
up on it
i was up on it
how was i supposed to know what i was
gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be

you were no one
in the eyes of
bigger people
with smaller problems
standing like a
brand new child
it's been years now
but they still remember your smile
and some nasty people take stuff like this
and make it seem more cinematic than it really is
people take stuff like this
and make it seem more cinematic than it really is
people take stuff like this
and make it seem more cinematic than it really is
oh, you person

it's been oh, about a year
i can't believe i still know the date
the house show that we had months before ian sold all the gold
no more scurrow playing my guitar
that was around the same time
i liked to lay in my bed all day
but "liked" isn't the right word to describe it
i was bound by fate
some shit just has to happen, right?
i'm back in the old room
you know i tried
but then i failed
afternoons were gone too soon
how could we tell?
this is an ode to the house
at this point i'm pretty sure it is
i still remember the smell of diet pepper
getting spilled on the cords wrapping 'round us as we set it off
perfection just ain't no fun
there's lots of things that don't matter here
though i admire all the documentation ian made
while we played in the back room, watching from the loft
i'm back in the old room
you know i tried
but then i failed
afternoons were gone too soon
how could we tell?
no time in the old room
you know we can't spare to think
like the moon in old cartoons
a sign right there
knowing that you could
that you could
changes everything

i'm just sitting here thinking bout the songs i used to make
about the kids at school who have bad hair and when i fucked up your steak
and now my life's online and when i disconnect i get real sad
the anxieties have come to kick me in the ass
how come it always seems
when i go down, you go up
when i go down, you go up again?
