I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy [Repeat 3x]
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And I have a hangover
Have a hangover [Repeat 3x]
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

Polly Wants a Cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me, we have some seed
Let me clip your dirty wings
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself
I've got some rope, you have been told
I promise you, I've been true
Let me take a ride, don't hurt yourself
I want some help to help myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
[Repeat chorus]
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
[Repeat "Love myself..." part]
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way, Mmmm...
Something in the way, yeah, Mmmm...
Something in the way, Mmmm...

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you're finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun
[Repeat Chorus]
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in greenland and some in mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
Sweetened with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
And store it deep inside of me
