lyrics

One by one by one the stupid harmonies were filled
The hateful lyrics were all jotted down
We threw some chords against the wall

And the lines that stuck together had no meaning left at all
They just slid across the backbeat
Like a bunch of drunken toddlers 'bout to fall

The rhythm hung together like a pastry crust
Like a poem on a dentist’s wall
Like an ashtray on the ground

And the furnace in the basement just keeps humming through the tracks
And your voice cracks just like styrofoam
No amount of water sets it back

When we heard it all together it was a kidney stone
The signals coalesced like spoiled cream
Every P and S fell through my tongue

The only parts that work here were the parts we stole
And the two tracks that don't break you when you listen back
Don't deserve respect at all

Like two rats caught in a wood stove we would scream and we would curse
Neither of us ever holding back
Like anybody else could care at all

And every time I wake up there is a pounding in my skull
Take three pills and watch the message feed
the world is burning to the ground

So you get a cup of coffee it costs you 20 bucks
You think about commercial licensing
Just like if you had a real plan

And one by one by one you plug yourself back in the daw
Put your ears back in the head phones
And keep on grinding at the wall
