Oh, and we carried it all so well
And thinking it was us that carried them
I was knocking on your ears
Tiny curtains open
Well, we all just got caught looking
Without the skills to make a shelf with
Don't worry you were always out
But we used them like a dam
When we finally got it figured out
We were certainly uncertain
But those never seemed to last
As if we got a new position
Oh, and we owned all the tools ourselves
Of course everyone goes crazy
We were begging for the past
Well, nothing ever went
Everyone's ashamed
Quite exactly as we planned
Over such and such and such
Than the sound of life's sweet bells
That we had truly missed the boat
We didn't read the invite
Looking towards the future
Well, we didn't need the water
So we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Oh, and I know this of myself
We've listened more to life's end gong
As if we got a new position
Oh, please just last
But we just built that good god damn
And we heard the tiny clap of little hands
Everyone's unhappy
Was there all that much to gain?
Well, we know we had the good things
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Sitting, drifting around in bubbles
Oh, and I laugh all the way to hell
Was it ever worth it?
At least I'm pretty sure I am
I assume as much for other people
A tiny man would tell a little joke
Oh, and I know this of myself
We just danced at our own wake
And get a tiny laugh from all the folks
Well, we knew we'd missed the boat
All our favorites were playing
Saying yes, this is a fine promotion
Our ideas held no water
We made ourselves a pillar
We just used it as a crutch
Oh, and we carried it all so well
At somebody else's page
And we'd already missed the plane
