lyrics

Looking out of your window
You feel like a bird with no wings
You listen to Elvis and contemplate
The four walls and the ceiling

Sometimes you answer the phone
Sometimes you let it ring
One time you got a crank call
And unplugged your phone
For a whole seven days

While you stayed in all day
And never saw the light of day
You dream your life away
You dream your life all day

Your friends are pissed at you
Your ex-girlfriend still hates you
You watch porn till your dick turns blue
Then fall asleep and dream of a woman
Who will always love you

While you stay in all day
And never see the light of day
You dream your life away
You dream your life all day

And at night you get on your bike
And you ride
Through the red intersection
You get splattered with mud
While your head fills up with blood
And this is absolutely necessary
That at 3AM you fly through the city

Instead of staying in all day
And never seeing the night before day
You dream your life away
You dream.
