I’m only counting tiles. I’m only counting tiles, what’s the rush? I gotta walk four miles. I gotta walk four miles through the brush Gotta change my station. Gotta change my pay situation Its time to think of pensions. Its time to think of hypertension. Bananas, apples, and oranges You think they’re thick on the ground Give us that we don’t have by the pound Just give us that by the pound Get your own ass through, get your own ass through And don’t expect anybody to put up with your incompetence And I promise you - being honest, too Just automate, uncomplicate your processes I’m gonna lick that worry, lick that worry I’m gonna bleed black on it, bleed black on it I’m gonna bring back money, bring back money I’m gonna lean back on it, lean back on it I’m gonna lick that worry, lick that worry I’m gonna bleed black on it, bleed black on it Bananas, apples, and oranges You think they’re thick on the ground Give us that we don’t have by the pound Just give us that by the pound

I cannot lie. I’ve been in better places But this is the one where we are And the girl who sees ghosts Is at it again Not gonna lie I have forgotten faces But never the sound of a voice And the girl who sings songs Is at it again Write down everything I say I will just forget the words anyway Write down everything I say I will just forget the words anyway I’m cutting to the front of the line I can’t wait around any longer You’re gonna have to make up your mind I’m not getting any younger Write down everything I say I will just forget the words anyway Write down everything I say I will just forget the words anyway I’m cutting to the front of the line I can’t wait around any longer You’re gonna have to make up your mind I’m not getting any younger I’m cutting to the front of the line I can’t wait around any longer You’re gonna have to make up your mind I’m not getting any younger

Who puts the babies to bed? Who wants to play hide and seek? Who likes to stare at the sky? Who holds my hand every week? Who always does the right thing? Who never makes a mistake? Who looks so sad when it rains? Who gets so mad when it breaks? So sing me a song Write down the words Make me believe It’s not absurd Say what you know Tell me a tale Make me believe We cannot fail Who likes to sing things so loud? Who likes to go to the zoo? Who dresses up like a clown? Who sits here waiting for you? Who loves to play in the snow? Who likes to hide from the sun? Who always knows where to go? Who never walks, always runs? So sing me a song Write down the words Make me believe It’s not absurd Say what you know Tell me a tale Make me believe We cannot fail

I‘ve had, I’m through I’m packing my bags and leaving here I’ve got to get off of this planet, dear I’ll do what I must to pay the fare And disappear into thin air Thin air Thin air Thin air In hopes of a surrender The starship builders sent her down From a faraway planet To this two-bit broken town I lost my heart in orbit Spinning around her blackened dome They took away all of my magic So I rode a moonbeam home Hiding out in the tall grass Waiting for the sun to go If I leave too soon I’ll be Betrayed by its glow. I‘ve had it, I’m through I’m packing my bags and leaving here I’ve got to get off of this planet, dear I’ll do what I must to pay the fare And disappear into thin air Thin air Thin air Thin air. If we are caught by those monsters They’ll smash us to bits and break us down And gather up all of the pieces And hide them deep beneath the ground I think we’d better keep moving Though we may or may not make it into space Our chances of survival keep improving With every step we take away from this place Hiding out from a winter storm Untouched by the blinding snow In this cave we’re dry and warm In the fire’s glow. And then again, maybe I dreamed it all... No one’s seen you in a while... No one’s caught your charming smile... Do they have a clue where you’ve been... Do they know the state that you’re in... I don’t think so...
