Lyrics Gum - The Cool Greenhouse

Gum

I found myself in a massive disco
Reading books about Autumn perennials
And when I turned my head I saw that she had gone
To take a dip in a nearby fishpond
I lived a life full of plenty and sin
Making money with my dog
Singing for the anti-altruists
Making things turn heavy and more heavy
And when they caught me I lay down in a bed
For twenty days straight I did not move one bit
My head held me, my head held me down
Cars passed the window, light flew around
Next seven drinkers threw me in the water
The riot started over some man’s wallet
And when I fell, I fell from a great height
Then there was nothing, nothing but water
John?
Hey, John?
Hey John?
John?
Now I spend my days sharpening pencils
Those days of plenty and sin are well gone
Live in a flat made of old science periodicals
Sometimes I even take the dog for a run
Water the plants every so often
Buy tables to remove the gum
Attach the gum to the ball in the living room
I find this to be the best way to have fun
