lyrics

Lyrics:

There’s something about the lake that keeps my interest, but there’s something about drowning in a pool I can stand in. There’s something about a life doing dishes that doesn’t seem so bad - compared to being an asshole millionaire. There’s something about the meaninglessness of the universe. There’s something about being high and drunk and ranting about it. There’s something about being in your mid-twenties and feeling "auto left out," that doesn’t seem so bad - compared to being an uptight stock broker. Who grows up to think “I want to be on Wall Street”? We want to be astronauts. It’s pretty so fuck it. We’re up, off, and away! I'm charmed to meet you though I've been trying hard to beat you all along. I'm charmed. I'm charmed to see you. I've been trying for too long to run away. Now I'm charmed. Charmed. Who grows up to think “I want to be on Wall Street”? We want to be astronauts. Money hungry astronauts! It’s pretty so fuck it. We’re up, off, and away...
