lyrics

some people act calm and assertive
but things look uncertain and i'm all nervous cuz
spies in the air that are giving me problems
don't let me celebrate anything

i'm certainly not getting younger
my arm bone is hurting and i'm allergic to
things in the air find their way to my nostrils
and give me something to care about

some people all pleasant together
but i'm still concerned with the state of the weather
a grim dirty cloud dumping up in the sky
and it pisses right on my balcony

my foot falls like lead on the throttle
incisions left open, the surgeon is awful
and dirt punches in while i'm still underwater
about all the good things in life

i feel a bit like eliza
which doesn't mean anything
and even though she’s probably tied up
she'll keep saying it's the best way to be

some people live free and unfettered
but i'm still afraid of assault with a weapon
a blunt foreign object from out of the crowd
and i see it flying in front of me

my skull makes contact with the bottle
the blood leaves my head on the way to the hospital
fluorescent lights shining right in my eyes
and i wished that i wouldn’t die

i feel a bit like eliza
which doesn't mean anything
and even though she’s probably tied up
she keeps insisting it's the best way to be
