Abacus

(album: That Was Now - 2023)

I got 20 pairs of shoes and only one pair of feet
I got a monkey in my memory keeps on pressing delete
I got a lorry loaded shiny shit that I never use
I got a glorified abacus to keep me amused

I got everything I need, I never had it so good
So I'ma feeling more at home when we're all lost in the woods
You said, "You drop me off the edge," and now, I wish that you would
Who did I startle? Did I stumble? Am I misunderstood?

One pair of feet
Pressing delete
I never use
Keep me amused

I had a dream
Everything was green
We were nowhere to be seen
And it was all too beautiful, too beautiful

I had a dream
Everything was green
We were nowhere to be seen
And it was all too beautiful, too beautiful

I'm a hopeless little locust, just a sum o' my parts
I'm a fishy out o' water, I'm a shot in the dark
Should be a hunter-gatherer scratching in the dirt
Not just a basic amoeba in quite a nice shirt, off to war

Hmm, darling, darling
Hmm, darling, darling
Take me to the middle of nowhere, and leave me there
(Hmm, darling, darlin') I don't wanna be here anymore
I cannot relate to this modern life
It leaves me cold, the rest
The time has come for something else

It was all a dream (and it's beautiful)
It was all a dream (and it's beautiful)
It was all a dream (and it's beautiful)
It was all a dream (and it's beautiful)
It was all a dream (and it's beautiful)
(And it's beautiful)
