[00:00.00]Buttons - Lambchop
[00:24.68]And I won't be connected
[00:26.47]
[00:27.80]Or be easily infected
[00:30.17]
[00:32.46]By the growing
[00:33.32]
[00:34.51]Sense of self-inflected
[00:35.36]
[00:37.53]Routine in your day
[00:40.60]
[00:45.41]Could this be our night-long struggle
[00:47.09]
[00:48.64]A metaphoric housing bubble
[00:51.73]
[00:53.57]Maybe you find a way
[00:55.80]To pass the hours
[00:56.68]
[00:58.13]Then make some happy end to it
[01:00.86]
[01:06.79]A canon and a can of cold commingle
[01:10.24]
[01:14.91]Reminders of the day you went away
[01:19.06]
[01:25.56]Remember at your worst
[01:27.12]When you were single
[01:29.25]
[01:33.44]And at your best you seem
[01:35.94]To have had better days
[01:38.52]
[01:45.85]There's not much
[01:46.86]For you this summer
[01:47.89]
[01:49.56]I guess you'll be a local bummer
[01:52.22]
[01:55.40]Maybe find a job that won't take
[01:57.84]
[01:59.35]A genius not to do
[02:01.77]
[02:07.79]And you may get arrested
[02:09.09]
[02:10.96]Have your breath
[02:11.65]And your blood tested
[02:13.40]
[02:15.70]And be back out on the street
[02:18.61]
[02:20.34]Before your engine starts to cool
[02:23.39]
[02:29.08]The months and weeks
[02:30.18]Have passed into a year
[02:32.16]
[02:37.17]And your life has changed
[02:38.25]
[02:38.80]In some histrionic ways
[02:41.13]
[02:47.84]A sentence passed
[02:48.53]Is paraphrased in here
[02:50.63]
[02:55.69]And you pick up trash in the rain
[02:58.38]
[03:00.22]Beside the motorway
[03:01.43]
[03:08.86]I used to know your girlfriend
[03:10.30]
[03:12.19]Back when you used to
[03:13.94]Have a girlfriend
[03:14.91]
[03:18.18]She was nice and you were not
[03:20.07]
[03:21.51]But I was the big prick
[03:23.11]Back then too
[03:24.26]
[03:29.46]Now she's had another baby
[03:31.18]
[03:33.52]And her life has gone sub-urban
[03:35.36]
[03:39.29]And I wonder what she thinks of
[03:41.24]
[03:43.13]When she thinks back now of you
[03:45.19]
[03:51.39]Been better times for those
[03:52.90]
[03:54.04]Who are in trouble
[03:54.99]
[03:59.56]And maybe
[03:59.96]
[04:01.41]There'll be better times for you
[04:04.44]
[04:10.16]The weight you've gained has
[04:12.07]Made your head a bubble
[04:13.85]
[04:17.86]And your button eyes are brown
[04:20.62]
[04:22.39]And not her black and blue
[04:25.53]
[04:30.88]Well no doubt I'll see you later
[04:34.48]You'll have your reasons
[04:35.92]
[04:36.70]You still hate her
[04:37.76]
[04:39.37]But my friend he says
[04:40.61]There is a change
[04:42.21]
[04:44.03]That's been coming over you
[04:45.76]
[04:52.34]I admit there is a difference
[04:54.11]
[04:55.79]And I'll submit to his assurance
[04:58.53]
[05:00.87]And I guess this is a night
[05:03.81]
[05:04.72]When things seem better
[05:06.49]
[05:09.48]Than they were
