Lyrics
Could it be?
A break in the gloom?
A frame for the bruise you left
Or the wounds you cleft
With your shoes
Under the pretense of taking steps to improve?
So I'll believe it when you make the 10 o'clock news
I'm only messing with you
But all the same if you find
My societal impact
Isn't aligned
With all this violent syntax
You can decline to describe
What exactly it is
And we can wrap up this chat
And get back to the grid
But remind me
Where oh where does the time go?
Why does it matter at all given I'm so
Creepy and battered?
I need you to grab those
Sepia-toned photographs of the past
Or maybe read me a bad poem
Or just rub my back
Stroke my thigh like I'm a regular guy
Just some asshole
Who couldn't change your life if he tried
Look, I've got nothing to hide โ
Did you have something in mind?
Could it be?
Could it be you're scared?
C'est ma vie โ
C'est la vie en merde!
Clarity shouldn't need be declared
Therapy can't reach the unprepared
But sweet parody...!
It shouldn't take all night
To capture the gist in a joke
Cram your things in a bag and
Drift onto the road
You can get a studio below the Domino's
Or you could maybe immolate yourself in Cicero
At a US Maple show โ
No, Alkaline Trio โ
You could never take a joke
I don't even wanna know
When the pentothal flows
I bet you're out of control
Listen, I think you're dope
But I'm a thousand years old
I could be
Could I be so bold
How are we?
How am I solo?
Comedy is not a microscope
And I don't wanna seem like such a misanthrope
But get off of me!
It doesn't take all kinds
Of minds to unpack this
Exercise in excrescence
You'll be fine with a mime
And a stand-up comedian
Listen, I think you're nice
And I'm a stand up guy
So come on
Hands up if you wanna take a chance on a lie
Honey, I think you're WILD
And I'm a stand-up comedian
