ready to die

i spit 3 times just to be on the safe side
that's how i live my life
i never leave the house without locking it 3 times
"better to be safe than sorry" they said
and i always thought that was a very clever thing to say
on the inside looking out
i'm not ready to die
even though i say that i am sometimes
spit 3 times just to be on the safe side
wondering if i forgot to turn the lights out
"better to be safe than sorry" they said
i internalized that and made it a part of me
on the inside looking out
i'm not ready to die
even though i say that i am sometimes

watching football with you in my clean and well lighted room
wonder if you will stay or if you will leave soon
not that you have to, i don't even want you to!
got a lot of questions but i ask you
"what music are you into?"
i'm probably boring you
but hey, i can be quiet too!
and i kinda like it
i'm just like you!
the world cup final
you're very cute and i'm very tired
i'm not always like this, but you're always nice and kind
i think of you
all the time

walking in central park
among the dogs and the police cars
dreaming about new york
under a tree in my backyard
i got everything i could ever want right in front of me
just like a movie
big city life, safe and confined
street smart kids play in the playground
and everyone's nice, polite and kind
dreaming about new york
under a tree in my backyard
i got everything i could ever want right in front of me
just like a movie

lacking sleep, not making sense
it was over before it began
now you're upset and that was not my intent
you know, i meant it as a compliment!
watching tv in my bed and loosing all my confidence
same news over and over and over again
until they start to make sense
i wanna be like the people on tv
who just won the lottery
i want you to see me happy
the days go by even when i pretend that they don't
so i waste them away
like the money that i spent
on different things off the internet
lots and lots of things
but no not my rent
don't trust banks, i only trust my friends
"can i lend some money again?"
"hey yeah man sure you can!"
i wanna be like the people on tv
who just won the lottery
i want you to see me happy
i might need a little time to sort this out.

better ways

"i don't see the point of it? you're making such a big thing out of it!"
well, it's a big thing to me i guess
nah not really a big fan of any of this
but if that's your thing, who am i to say?
so, i say
hey man, it's fine. i got 700 better ways to waste my time.

crash test dummy
02:53
|
|

break in case of emergency
break everyday
like a crash test dummy
break my face
it's a shame but i won't need it
not today and not tomorrow
what a feeling!
i hate the way you talk to me. it's not that hard to be nice, is it?
i wish that you were kinder to me, but i guess it's just a pipe dream
for a crash test dummy
wake up late but still make full time money
it's very boring though
makes it harder to ignore the phone calls
i've been ignoring
all morning
i hate the way you talk to me. it's not that hard to be nice, is it?
heard you the first time, you don't have to repeat
it's not you, it's your personality
