One! Two! Three! Four! Five! I swear to God there's been some Big mistake, but there's no one Who'll say or even act like they might I'm starting to think I've been dumb And deaf, now bring me someone Who'll tell me that something is wrong tonight And it's a sad day when the deities On my shoulders both agree That there's something wrong with what's going on Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Don't keep your secrets from me You never know what could be The words that'll keep me sound and sane You smile when no one else will I wonder if looks can kill And if they do, then who's to blame Did we start or end this way? What else did you want to say? I'm sorry that no more could be done You seemed alright yesterday I thought that you were okay It's so surreal to be down to one And it's a sad day when the deities On my shoulders both agree That there's something wrong with what's going on Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Everyone I know is Dead! Dead! Everyone I know is (Dead!) (7x) Everyone I know is Dead! I said dead! Dead! I used to look up to you, But now you look up to me I get choked up on the irony

Impending doom is hanging around like an elephant in the room Impending doom, the unmistakable aura is surrounding Bring me a drink and give me a moment in which to sit down and think What's with this room? It feels like there's something lying, waiting for me to move I have had a sickening sense of something lurking, waiting just for me to move I need a breath of fresh air, I need a hint of hope to help me improve What can I do? Is something wrong or am I underestimating you? Don't say a word, whatever you do, do not tell me that you're feeling Impending doom Impending doom Under your bedsheets lies safety you seek Try not to be seen, try not to come clean Say if there's something I should be thinking Don't let me go, lest you seek to invoke the Impending doom! Impending doom! Don't move one bit! I think we're all doomed and we just do not realize it My mind's a pit; the depth and the breadth are astonishing, and I must get Away from you. I feel as though you shall remain despite all that I do So what to do? You've left me no options, now I must head straight into Impending doom Impending doom Under your bedsheets lies safety you seek Try not to be seen, try not to come clean Say if there's something I should be thinking Don't let me go, lest you seek to invoke the Impending doom! Impending doom! Impending doom! Impending doom!

Sometimes I like to sit down and just think for a while About the mysteries of the earth and just how to make you smile There's a million thoughts in my head What's the density of lead? I'll never fall asleep while sitting in my big chair Cos my brain's electrified, and I like twiddling my hair How long will the earth spin? And what exactly is a terrapin? And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, yes I do Just who decided that the answer should be 42? Frankly, I don't know Frankly, I don't know Sometimes I like to think about the way things are And even who exactly invented the guitar I'd like to shake his hand And maybe start a band And you can call me strange, but I like to think about things I do not know And with any luck, I think my grey matter may begin to grow Sometimes I like to wonder, I just like to think And I need acetaminophen cos I'm on the brink Of a terrible migraine How many cells are in my brain? I used to want to be a paleontologist But I never learned how to spell diplodocus D-I-P-L-O D-O-C-U-S And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who names dinosaurs I think about these things and I can't help but wonder more Archaeopteryx Compsognathus I mumble to myself and people think I'm strange And honestly I don't know if I am deranged Clinically, it's proven that I don't know much And I think that's why I think about the world and such Perplexing mysteries What are BVDs? And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder if we can cure hate I don't know, but my best guess is calcium perchlorate I think I'll never know exactly what the answers are And I will always wonder who invented the guitar Archaeopteryx Compsognathus Diplodocus Diplodocus And you can call me strange, but I like to think about things I do not know And with any luck, I think my grey matter may begin to grow And you can call me strange, but I like to think about things I do not know And with any luck, I think my grey matter may begin to grow Diplo- Docus!

The Milkman 03:56
Check out that guy who's walking down the street His starched uniform is so nice and neat I can see myself in the shoes on his feet, They're just so squeaky clean! He's so polite as he does his important duties Does what's right as he brings nutrients to me People say that I'm the only one who sees But I don't know what they mean No, he won't deliver 2% It's a conspiracy from the government They think that nobody is content, So bring on the mind control! ??? Yes, I am sure that he's got the key Because it does not belong to me He is the man who lets me see We're always being watched He is such a noble man And I know that he does all he can With a milk bottle in his hand, says "Tyranny must be stopped!" He will not give up, he shall not abscond When I ask his name, he turns and responds "My milk is fortified with what the world wants, What the world deserves!" ??? He won't stop until his last job is done One final delivery to everyone After that, we're all invited to go have fun Delivering milk all day But he looks at me and says with a grin "I don't know when I will rid the world of sin, And I swear, until the day that I can win I'll never go away!" ??? ???
