lyrics

You only had the tools to deal with half of this, out loud
And everyone is well aware of how you feel about crowds

We know you’ll never feel that you’re for this world
And everybody over there is always comparing you to “this girl”

Carol was a nightmare when he drank cheap beer
He’d work himself up to think that he was a seer

I only have the time to deal with half of this, right now
Unless you have another way to make it back from town

Horace liked everyone to know that he was loaded
He filled his house with rare cats and cash until it exploded

But don’t expect to hear about it on tonight’s news
They’re too busy getting kale and spinach confused

There are words coming out that you don’t recognize right now
You’re now further away from home then you thought you’d allow
