everybody knows it dont smell that fresh
but it wears a perfume and the label says
the world in a bottle with a pinch of mess
i can hardly believe what the paper heads
with the whateverst of words
ugly font in bold
hundred page problem on the space of a post-it note
cant wrap my brain around it
and my brain is not that old
so it should be somewhat stretchable
or i dont know
i dont know
but hey lets give it
lets give the book a cover
give the book a cover to judge
i think it needs a proper smudge
so im at a family dinner
things are fine
eating smoked salmon toast and drinking bubble wine
until they start to nag about this home of mine
guess they read the world news
or at least the headlines
oh man you gave it
you gave the book a cover
gave the book a cover to judge
now they only see the smudge

come see me
so we can talk about it
because with a change of minds
comes a change of hearts
(twice)
it's just that i thought
it's just that we were
(ad infinitum)

thanks for all your good advice
ill put on my shelf
of books i never finished
and barely watered plants
you can bother if you want
and you can pity if you bother
but its ok i get above it
one way or another
but its ok
as long as you can talk along at the bar its ok
its ok
as long as you will walk along to my car its ok
its ok
just give me one more week or maybe a month its ok
its ok
ill be a good sport about it someday
its ok
its ok (echoes through the empty void that is your life)
monolithic thoughts
are trying to fit inside my head
on my way to the supermarket
i even thought about death
whether right or wrong exists
if i have a goal in life
but its ok i guess
as long as they sell my brand of rice
but its ok
as long as you can talk along at the bar its ok
its ok
as long as you will walk along to my car its ok
its ok
just give me some more months or maybe some years its ok
its ok
ill be a good sport about it someday its ok
its ok
its ok
its
ok

you stack your trouble on a cart
can barely lift it
wont make five steps but tell yourself
that you can make it
to some man who owns a shop
across the town
where he gets rid of peoples troubles
put on your goggles
cause theyll push you even deeper
underwater far away
cause you're a creeper
and its easier to hide the things
that you dont understand
when they cause trouble
too much of a struggle
to get back to where you came from
your mind is strangled into knots
no scout is trained for
no one bothers anymore
to unsnarl or restore
its too much trouble
trouble (all kinds of melodic variations)
