lyrics

Say now
Don't take it easy. I'm not that easy. Or maybe I am.
En-your-garde
We've lived a lifetime in a matter of years
I'm always singing in your ear
I could try to be in tune, but I hate to impress you
And it takes it out of me, it takes it out of me, it takes it out of me, it takes it out of me
This wind-strewn life is out of gales
The commuting starts and stops in swells
Oh, don't grow up to be your sister
I know every family has a spinster
Atrophied her insides on catchpenny wine
that she picked up while you carted her around
Catches up on the gossip
They're three bickering faucets waiting for the opportunity to quip
Hands out, just like they were
They're usually not stationary
Could be the lack of excitement
Oh, don't forget your dictionary
Held down
Anesthetize me
On a steady drip of nicotine & antiquated vaccinations
And I lost autonomy, I lost autonomy, I lost autonomy, I lost autonomy
They're taxing up my dues
Then they'll dress me in Kevlar & rouge
Oh, the site is indelibly etched on the eyelids where the morning never stretched
Lost count of every mile that we've burned
To the mindless Mecca everyone returns
Listlessly said, "Does your unmade bed do the bulk of all your talking"
All your talking
