Lyrics
[Verse 1] Overprescribed And under the mister We had survived to Turn on the History Channel And ask our esteemed panel "Why are we alive?" And here's how they replied: You're what happens when two substances collide And by all accounts, you really should have died [Verse 2] Stretched out on a tarmac Six miles North of South Platte He can't stand to look back At sixteen tons of hazmat It's what goes undelivered Undelivered Boom, bum, bum, bum [Chorus] It's a nervous tic motion of thе head to the left A nеrvous tic motion Exorcise your cells 'til you're bereft It's a nervous tic motion Of the what? Of the head to the left [Verse 3] Splayed out on a bath mat Six miles South of North Platte He just wants his life back What's in that paper knapsack It's what goes undelivered Undelivered Boom, bum, bum, bum, boom [Chorus] And it's a nervous tic motion of the head To the left A nervous tic motion Of the [Whistling] [Bridge] Over imbibed Under the mister Barely alive, we cover our blisters in flannel Though the words we speak are banal Not one of them's a lie Not one of them's a lie [Outro] You're what happens when two substances collide And by all accounts, you really should have died
