about

This is the story of an extraordinary soneone's ordinary day-to-day life -- sort of.

lyrics

Up late, down early
Crash landing at 2:30
What else can you do
But do it again and again and again and again

Sleep in, have some coffee
Honey, how do you like your eggs?
Wash your hands, make big plans
It’s time for your getaway

What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one to say
You can’t have anything your chain-smoking heart desires?

What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?

This night, so pretty
Nuts and bolts and doo wah ditty
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
There’s a riot going on in the city got you hanging on

Why don’t you come with me later?
The devil might beat his wife
Wipe those counters down ‘til you're the one that’s disinfected
It's time to leave the scene clean

What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one to say
You can’t have anything your chain-smoking heart desires?

What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?

You fell down so much from all those blues
You grew such pretty wings that you never use
Maybe one of these days, you’ll realize you can fly

What do you wish for, my grumpy one?
What do you long for when there’s no one/to say
You can’t have anything your sweet little heart desires?

What do I want for my grumpy one?
Another season basking in the sun
Sitting on the shore watching the world fade into the turning tide
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?
When it’s time to go
Oh, won’t you let me ride?
