lyrics

Squeezing Day to Day

I don’t know what we’re gonna do
With these kids
Rolling around on tiny wheels
In concrete cars
Their arms out in beautiful arcs
Living from day to day

Squeezing on the orchestra
Another drop of drama
I’m here to sing my opera
Dressed in my best pajamas

How we gonna hold the ears
Of these kids
Rolling their orbs and turning heel
So darn contrary
Raising their arms
Just for the hits
Living to feel the feels

And what are you gonna do
With me now
Cutting my tight set down to
Nothing
So just file me under monkey man
Cranking an organ
From day to day

Squeezing on the orchestra
Another drop of drama
I’m dancing in a coma
Dressed in my best pajamas

Chasing the elected
To put onto them the beat
To be a constant pest
Hey we pay our rent
Though we gotta wear a helmet
When we slip it in the slot
Or it’s just another haircut
Shaving up your heart
