And when the sun burns out, we'll light the world with tiny glowing screens.
Tiny glowing screens, many glowing screens.
Playing solitaire in restaurants.
Boundaries I′m testing em.
No one's really watching still I sense that I've been messing up.
Human but by day by day I′m feeling like I′m less of one.
Sent most my best friends presents but they're acting like I′m less than one.
Got no direction someone summon Nora Ephron.
Beer pong's how I learned the capital of Lebanon.
Basically we′re Lennon John, young & dead and gone.
Whiskey tipsy keep on slipping don't know which end of the bed I′m on.
Calories, Valeries in malls smoking on Cali weed.
When the sun burns out, we′ll light the world with tiny glowing screens.
Tiny glowing screens, glowing screens.
When the sun burns out, we'll light the world with tiny glowing screens.
There was a time before the pot really got strong.
Before the hippies got jobs talking long, long.
Before the people talked in English out in Hong Kong.
Before the holy Dalai Lama had a dot com.
Before God′s dad got it on with God's mom.
Before he made us pretty things on which to drop bombs.
Hey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who passed away?
He was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfway.
He ended up eating smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the door and
Repeating the same crappy screenplay idea about talking dogs ′til his last day.
Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed? He didn′t jump off that ledge.
He just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast.
Like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete.
The earth is a drum and he's hitting it on beat.
The reason there′s smog in Los Angeles is because if we could see the stars, If we
Could see the context of the universe in which we exist,
And we could see how small each one of us really is against the vastness of what
Then nobody would ever audition for a McDonalds commercial again!
And then where would we be? No frozen dinners and no TV, and is that a world we want
Either someone just microwaved popcorn, Or I hear the sound of a thousand people
Pulling their heads out of their asses in rapid succession.
The people are hunched over in Boston.
They′re starting screen printing companies and app stores in San Francisco.
They're grinning in Los Angeles, like they got fishhooks in the corners of their
But don′t paint me like the good guy 'cause every time I write, I get to choose the
Angle that you view me and select the nicest light.
And you would not respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter.
'Tap tap tapping′ through my mind at night.
The same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue,
And tattered memories of some girl I got to grind on in high school,
Filed carefully on rice paper.
My heart is a colored pencil - But my brain is an eraser.
I don′t want a real girl, I want to trace her from a catalogue.
Truth be told I'm unlikely to hold you down.
Cause my soul is a crowded subway train, and people keep deciding to get on the next
One that rolls through town.
I′m joining a false movement in San Francisco.
I'm frowning and hunched over in Boston.
I′m grinning in Los Angeles like I've got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth!
And I′m celebrating on weekends.
Because there are 7 billion 47 million people on the planet.
And I have the audacity to think that I matter!
I know that it's a lie but I prefer it to the alternative,
Because I've got a tourniquet tied at my elbow.
I′ve got a blunt wrap filled with compliments and I′m burnin it.
You say to go to sleep but I been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was hecka
We're every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like Russian nesting dolls.
My mother is an 8 year old girl.
My grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed.
And that′s the glue between me and you.
That is the screws and nails.
We live in a house made of each other.
And if that sounds strange that's because it is.
Will somebody please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone′s pockets inside
And remember... You didn't see shiiiiit.
