call the searches off
call it a day
burn the bridges down behind you
let the movie play without you
inertia flat against the wall
let delusions have the grandeur
while the jury in your head
will knock you down and hit the wall
singing-- why does nothing good ever happen to me?
why can't everything just change itself to work for me?
it's never your own fault, always gonna blame her
left your motivation in the takeout container
carry it out and call yourself a mover and a shaker
throw the engine out
stall on the road
bring the padded walls about you
get your bearings down around you
it's the ride you can't afford
make it hard for them to find you
say the ones who want to help
will want to cut the curtain cord
singing-- why does nothing good ever happen to me?
why can't everything just change itself to work for me?
it's never your own fault, always gonna blame her
left your motivation in the takeout container
carry it out and call yourself a mover and a shaker
call the searches off
call it a day...
