THE MOON
Say yes when I shouldn't
Take the blame when you wouldn't
Searching for something to say in the debt that I'll pay
For the art when you misunderstood it
Digging holes through my health
Getting farther from wealth
Letting you win for the sake of the end
But you'll never pay back what I took from myself
I wanted fast cars
Free gas and asphalt
Traded for payments on my neighbor's Cobalt
Prank calls
Cell phones and crushes
Now I have phone bills and manic depressives
Wanted Britt Daniel, unique to the culture
Became a derivative chip on my shoulder
I wanted money and power and greed
Wait that was you, you sold it to me
Cause I want it all, I want it now
Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Are you sick of it now
That's not the moon, it's a street light
The sky isn't falling, it's twilight
The prison you made is from papier-mâché
And boy don't you know how to fold it just right
Not unlucky, I'm flailing
Not giving up, I'm just bailing
I bought into the game of you learning my name
But the quitter gets bitter, yeah sure, good luck healing
A beautiful house, a beautiful family
How did I get here, a song that defines me
I wished for a day, and I got a lifetime
Burnout is real, giving up on the last line
Cause I want it all, I want it now
Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Cause I want it all, I want it now
Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Are you sick of it now
How's that David Byrne
Unique to the culture
Or am I a derivative chip on your shoulder
I just want money and power and fame
Forget the culture, remember my name
Cause I want it all, I want it now
Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Cause I want it all, I want it now
Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Are you sick of it now
Take the blame when you wouldn't
Searching for something to say in the debt that I'll pay
For the art when you misunderstood it
Digging holes through my health
Getting farther from wealth
Letting you win for the sake of the end
But you'll never pay back what I took from myself
I wanted fast cars
Free gas and asphalt
Traded for payments on my neighbor's Cobalt
Prank calls
Cell phones and crushes
Now I have phone bills and manic depressives
Wanted Britt Daniel, unique to the culture

Tell me I'm wrong, for crying out loud
Are you sick of it now
