| Wouldn’t it be nice if I were younger
|
| Rewind a couple years and find hunger
|
| Now I stick another candle in the cake
|
| Another year without an album to my name
|
| All I do is sleep with a blanket on my face
|
| Wake up and add on to my weight
|
| Fuck tryin' put a salad on my plate
|
| You can’t make friends with salad anyways…
|
| Twelve songs could have me on a road
|
| And one hit could have me going gold
|
| Trust me — they had me on a road
|
| Dad yelling
|
| «Los Angeles is on the phone!»
|
| Whatever Happened to the Music was the song
|
| They thought would get me on the Rolling Stone
|
| A rant over looped Green Day guitars
|
| And all they need were eleven more
|
| But I was bored
|
| The shit was too easy
|
| I’m the motherfuckin' man is what I believed
|
| Listening to you was beneath me
|
| Big-headed like Christina Ricci
|
| I slept and let a couple months past me
|
| Whatever happened to the music is what they asked me
|
| I told you — I’m writin', chill son
|
| I’m finishing tomorrow, I’m tired
|
| Time to go to bed — Brian Wilson
|
| I started at the bottom and I stayed there
|
| Felt like I laid there for eight years
|
| Slept deeper than the end that I dove in
|
| Desmond Howell in a bathrobe, soakin'
|
| Confused, forgot what I wanted
|
| Lost the spark that I had when I started
|
| Burned out, exhausted
|
| Went from potential to false promises to gone
|
| I vanished into thin wind slow
|
| A fat guy in a ripped little coat
|
| Dad died and I slipped in a coma
|
| I was awake but I listened to no one
|
| I was distant, I was pissed off
|
| I was the last living Christoff
|
| And I was angry with the other side of my window
|
| A side that I wasn’t built for
|
| A side that I wasn’t fit for
|
| Convinced I was better off indoors
|
| Until my pills ran out and my killed buzz
|
| Makes me sick till I refill my script-up
|
| My only reason to sit up
|
| And I’m supposed to pen songs to some kickdrums?
|
| Give me the night and I’ll finish up
|
| I’m tired, time to go to bed
|
| Brian Wilson
|
| Friday’s child
|
| Born a little ugly
|
| Friday’s child
|
| Good looks passed her by
|
| Friday’s child
|
| Makes something look like nothing |
