Desert Island Questionnaire |
Say that you were stranded on a desert island |
What books you gonna bring what friends would tag along |
Say you had a month and you knew you were dying |
How would you spend your time |
What goodbyes would take too long |
You don’t like this game and you take exception |
Who wants all this trouble even hypothetical |
With the charging sky above |
And the ground below that could swallow everyone |
Staring at your phone at another party |
Spend a lot on clothes got a lot of skin to show |
People in the pool like the drowning army |
Smoke along the moats and the hotel lobby glows |
Wish that you can dance but you’ve got no partner |
Keep tapping on your glass because you want to make a toast |
To the ennui of our times |
To the selfishness in everyone you know |
Made a lot of friends but they can’t be trusted |
Don’t know what their angle is Post up at the bar and I’m double fisted |
Talking to a mannequin |
I don’t know what it means when he takes my pulse |
And says that I’m a lot like him |
I say that’s fair enough that’s why I’m trying to loosen up Every lunatic must be well intentioned |
Sets himself apart he’s an instrument of god |
Took her from the playground to the farmhouse cellar |
Kissed her while he killed her like a good Samaritan |
They finally found her body many Autumns after |
Interviewed her mother who said she’d now be 21 |
And although we lost her young |
I know the good lord has a plan for all of us Mormons at the door they are clean and handsome |
Always have a good sales pitch |
Your little sisters swears that she can take my order |
But I can’t take her serious |
Need something to bring |
For this human nature is not what this condition is |
I’m so bored with my life but I’m still afraid to die |
Everyone’s asleep in this burning building |
And I can’t wake them up in time |
You go on ahead I’ll be right behind you |
I’m headed to the finish line |
I can’t ignore the sun until this is over |
Pretend that you were stranded on a desert island |
What would be the message that you’d spell out for the plane |
Say the engine failed when that plane was flying |
If you were the pilot would you curse or would you pray |
No one’s gonna cry at this John Doe funeral |
Not a lot to say did it even have a name |
Light a candle just in case he was someone’s friend |
Throw some flowers on the grave |
