Couch Potato (Live from WFUV)

[Verse 1]

Oh, you can blame it on the Pisces

Fish that swim in circles

'Round and 'round your fluid soul

While the water's going down

Both those guppies gonna drown

In the bottom of a toilet bowl

No one has the answer

For you or the Cancer

Living in your dumbstruck mind

When you set something in action

Then you watch it happen

Until you're bored or out of time

[Chorus]

Oh, it's no pleasure to live a life out of love

Think this would go better if you shot yourself in the tub

[Verse 2]

Oh, a decade in the making

Couch potatoes baking

Underneath the blazing sun

Everybody's getting hungry

And running out of monеy

Call me when the suckеr's done

Baby, write a new song

There's nothing left to go on

Nonetheless to pay the bills

Oh, and anything could go wrong

I'm going back to Tucson

Remote controls and little white pills

[Chorus]

Oh, it's no wonder you're such a fool for the drug

'Cause when you go under, it's easier to look up

[Verse 3]

You spend your time

Finding a precious new way to exit your mind

In front of the TV, taking it easy tonight

Are you comfortably warm?

Is your comforter more like a cage?

With every motion, you're only rolling in your grave

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

You spend your life to work like a dog all damn day

And come home at night, hoping that someone will say

[Outro]

You deserve a break

Sit down on the couch

You deserve a break

You're too hard on yourself

Son, you deserve a break

Sit down on the couch

You deserve a break

You're too hard on yourself

You're too hard on yourself
