  • Many years have passed but you're still charming
    Rose falling and exploding
    And you can't save the world on your own
    I guess

    Don't send me it
    You keep it
    You keep it

    You keep it

    Weak arms, can't open the door
    Kung fu council
    It'll be okay, I just need to be weird and hide for a bit
    And eat an old sandwich from my bag

    I've come here to make a ceramic shoe
    And I've come to smash what you made
    I've come to learn how to mingle
    I've come to learn how to dance
    I've come to join your knitting circle
    I've come to hand-weave my own bunkbed ladder
    In a few short sessions

    It's a Tokyo bouncy ball
    It's an Oslo bouncy ball
    It's a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball
    Filter, I love these mighty oaks, don't you?
    Do everything and feel nothing
    Wristband, theme park, scratch card, lanyard
    Do everything and feel nothing
    Do everything and feel nothing

    Pat dad on the head
    Alright you big loudmouth
    And thanks very much for the Twix

    I think of myself as a hardy banana
    With that waxy surface
    And small delicate flowers
    A woman in aviators firing a bazooka
    A woman in aviators firing a bazooka

    I've come here to make a ceramic shoe
    And I've come to smash what you made
    I've come to learn how to mingle
    I've come to learn how to dance
    I've come to join the knitting circle

    That's just child chat
    Why don't you want oven chips now?

    It's a Tokyo bouncy ball
    It's an Oslo bouncy ball
    It's a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball
    Filter, I love these mighty oaks, don't you?
    Do everything and feel nothing
    Wristband, theme park, scratch card, lanyard
    Do everything and feel nothing
    Do everything and feel nothing

    You seem really together
    You've got a new coat
    New hair
    Well, I'll tell you one thing
    You've got it coming
    One day, you're gonna get it
