stone a preacher. stole everybody.
hiding out my time in euphonious mind -
i'm not ok! i'm not ok!
(i'll be ok)
point a needle, the 'sharper finger'
biting off the rind, oh! euphonious mind!
i'm not ok, i'm not ok...
(ok, ok)
i said the city will be spared.
blue sea, blue stairs - i won't be there for you.
in the back of a new disaster's head -
conditioned audience, well-fed. i won't be!
don't go, says everybody
but i won't miss anybody!
i won't be settled down, i won't be settled down.
i hope...
i saw my shrink. i wanted to shrink!
she gave me pills and potions and told me to drink.
chug, chug! it'll be over soon!
yes, it'll all be over soon, la da da...
it's in the papers... (who reads the papers?)
think of sinking ships - but even then, rats can swim!
i'm not ok, i'm not ok!
(i'm not. i'm not.)
i left the city and i'm scared.
blue sea, blue stairs, i won't be there for you.
alpaca coming for my head!
a grizzled veteran, well-fed... i won't be -
so slow! in fact, he's almost
too fast! and suddenly now -
at last, i'm coming home. at last, i'm coming home.
i hope...
