lyrics

If I were born in the thirties I woulda been lobotomized
But I guess I wouldn't mind
If it meant I couldn't frown
If catatonic states were nickels I could be a billionaire
But then I guess I'd have to share
And that's where this metaphor breaks down

Oh bring me a bucket of fire ants
I'll spill em all down my shoes
And show me a man
Drunk on the Melbourne coast
Picking a drunken fight
Drowned by a kangaroo

I took my friend to Ikea, we instantly got lost inside
She told me that it had bad vibes
And I couldn't disagree
I dreamt about the giant monster coming to destroy us all
But maybe that's an early call
Cuz really it could be anything

Oh bring me a stovetop of boiling frogs
I'll scoop em out, set em free
And someday I'll find
A place in my brain where I'm safe
And when it comes crashing down
That's where I wanna be

Head of a vampire
Head of a skunk
We're gonna tear this ego down
Chunk by bloody chunk
Head of an avelanche
Dripping with sweat
These are the things about yourself
You try to forget

Oh bring me the head of Charlie Brown
Wrapped in the Saturday news
I'll be asleep
On this pile of English moss
To dream of my ideal self
Drowned by a kangaroo
