lyrics

[What's your plan? Yeah. What do you want to get out of this? Really, that's great. So, le-le-let's take this as generally as possible: You want to get a &$@@ out of it. Okay. You really think, if that's your goal, you need to lead with]

Oh, daddy's gone away tonight
I thought I'd come to see
Modern Mary, bought and buried
By the bushel, cocked and carried

And I loved you a while on this material isle
I know I claim to hate, but I love the style
And I wish you a good life
And I hope that a moral overlies
Cause if you want my advice
Just know that ther've been many tried and trite

[Yeah]

Cause I've heard voices calling my brain
They are digital synthetic paraplegic pathetic and they don't know my name
So get off the ball, 'cause all I thought was that I thought I thought I felt the same
Get your head off the horse, and the horse off the field and the field into the drain

And I wish you a good life
But this world was not what I'd expect to find
And I wish you a good life
Do you know that a moral overlies?

I went down to the bay where you tried to save me
Before you swam away you said, "I don't wanna be a whale, okay?"
You said, "I don't wanna be a whale, no way"
You said, "I don't wanna be a whale, okay, okay, okay okay"
Okay you said, "I don't want to be a whale, no way"
