lyrics

I can’t believe that you can still buy things with checks.
I’m 25 and unable.
I let a Mormon interrogate my thoughts on death.
I spent two bucks on a razor.

But if my hand’s held high
for expedience,
and if I left the windows wide
for the sake of an atmosphere,

well, then if everything’s on the wire,
well, what does value mean?
And if you’re running back in the fire,
well, what was that supposed to be?

Eight years of doubt;
radically normal somehow.

I made some pasta and drank two beers last night.
I sweat and stared at the cable.
I dreamt of shopping carts and endless grey and white:
the last American fable.

But if my mouth hangs wide
for empty gestures,
or if I climb real high
to get a better look around,

well, then if everyone’s getting tired,
should we just call it?
And if you’re scared of what you’ve inspired,
I think, well, maybe there’s a lesson there somewhere.

Half-life half down;
radically normal somehow.

If you’re down, I’m down.
Radically normal somehow.
