Lyrics[]
Oh, for the first time in your life,
You’re asking me for my advice.
But don’t you dare think you’re off the hook
Without me taking an honest look.
You got nothing up your sleeve,
You got plenty on your mind,
And your mouth is getting dry,
Because you’re yawning all the time,
And the days are getting longer,
But your patience ticks away,
And the wind could knock you over.
If the walls weren’t in the way.
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do?
Oh, you’ve got to close your eyes.
Strike that, you’ve got to open them.
Oh, your thoughts are flexible,
But somehow you have broken them.
You’re knocking at the door
Like you’d rather not find out
What is on the other side,
Because it proves beyond a doubt
That you never had a clue
What you wanted all along.
You attempt to hold your ground,
Like being weak is being strong.
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do?
- Oh, I don’t know. Run outside and twirl.
- Scream hello at this hyper world.
Oh, run the rooftop marathon
Until your sense of up and down is gone.
Discover ten brand new ways
To make tomorrow’s weather like today’s.
You’re stuck inside a pattern.
You’re stuck inside a loop
And you’re stuck inside a pattern.
You’re stuck inside a loop
And you’re stuck inside a pattern.
You’re stuck inside a loop
And you’re stuck inside a pattern.
You’re stuck, so take a hammer to it.
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do?
- Oh, I don’t know. Run outside and twirl.
- Scream hello at this hyper world.
I only understand myself.
Just me and nobody else.
I only understand myself.
Just me and nobody else.
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do?
- What can you do? What can you do about it?
- What can you do? What can you do?
- Oh, I don’t know. Run outside and twirl.
- Scream hello at this hyper world.
- I don’t know. Run outside and twirl.
- Scream hello at this hyper world.
