Gum

[Verse 1]

I found myself in a massive disco

Reading books about Autumn perennials

And when I turned my head I saw that she had gone

To take a dip in a nearby fishpond

[Verse 2]

I lived a life full of plenty and sin

Making money with my dog

Singing for the anti-altruists

Making things turn heavy and more heavy

[Verse 3]

And when they caught me I lay down in a bed

For twenty days straight I did not move one bit

My head held me, my head held me down

Cars passed the window, light flew around

[Verse 4]

Next seven drinkers threw me in the water

The riot started over some man’s wallet

And when I fell, I fell from a great height

Then there was nothing, nothing but water

[Bridge]

John?

Hey, John?

Hey John?

John?

[Outro]

Now I spend my days sharpening pencils

Those days of plenty and sin are well gone

Live in a flat made of old science periodicals

Sometimes I even take the dog for a run

Water the plants every so often

Buy tables to remove the gum

Attach the gum to the ball in the living room

I find this to be the best way to have fun
