But those never seemed to last
Of course everyone goes crazy
Well, we know we had the good things
Over such and such and such
But we just built that good god damn
At somebody else's page
All our favorites were playing
Publishers: PARTY PANTS MUSIC, SONY/ATV HARMONY, SONY/ATV MELODY, TSCHUDI MUSIC, UGLY CASANOVA MUSIC
Without the skills to make a shelf with
We just used it as a crutch
Was it ever worth it?
But we used them like a dam
Could we change the subject now?
Well, we all just got caught looking
And we heard the tiny clap of little hands
Everyone's ashamed
Don't worry you were always out
We've listened more to life's end gong
Tiny curtains open
Oh, please just last
And we'd already missed the plane
Oh, and I know this of myself
Sitting, drifting around in bubbles
Oh, and I know this of myself
Quite exactly as we planned
A tiny man would tell a little joke
Songwriters: Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green, Eric Judy, Johnny Marr, Tom Peloso, Joe Plummer
Oh, and we carried it all so well
That we had truly missed the boat
And get a tiny laugh from all the folks
Everyone's unhappy
As if we got a new position
Was there all that much to gain?
Our ideas held no water
Well, nothing ever went
We were certainly uncertain
We just danced at our own wake
And thinking it was us that carried them
As if we got a new position
I assume as much for other people
Oh, and we carried it all so well
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Oh, what useless tools ourselves
We made ourselves a pillar
At least I'm pretty sure I am
Well, we knew we'd missed the boat
I was knocking on your ears
Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves
We didn't read the invite
Than the sound of life's sweet bells
We were begging for the past
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
While we're on the subject
When we finally got it figured out
Well, we didn't need the water
So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Looking towards the future
