Everyone (I Know Is)

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
03:45

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!

The Thinking Song
03:49

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

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!"
???
