lyrics

i waited patiently to spill open my guts
when it comes to absolution, integrity's a must
so if you sell me down the river, first let me find my water wings
cause i can doggy paddle about as well as you can sing

i sit perfectly still while praying for a wave
by now i've talked such nonsense
i can no longer feel pain!
and speaking of the lifetime
that passed us by today
the one thing i have to ask you
is "hey, are you awake?"

i'm an easy diagnosis,
that comes with batteries included
i've been living down at 668 east easy street
look me up in the yellow pages, i'm the neighbor of the beast

i've been fine thanks for asking
truth is i've been sat at home
building skinny cities of matchsticks
and ignoring the phone
all good things come in boxes
i found god in styrofoam
he wrapped my up in plastic said
we're all very sorry to say this
but due to unforeseen circumstances
i'm afraid judgment day's postponed :/
