You Deserve An Oscar

(album: Good Morning It's Now Tomorrow - 2021)

Clap your hands and catch a fly
Bite an apple, shut your eyes
Moisturize, your skin is dry
Ghosts are ringing off the bell
Tell your friends you're doing well
Call a doctor 'bout your health

And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing's wrong
Every day there's something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize

Ooh

Take a supplement for sun
Try and sleep with everyone
Know you're doing nothing wrong
Kiss the season on the mouth
Go for walks and hug a cloud
All the funny ones are down

And I think you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing's wrong
Every day there's something else
But you carry yourself
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up before your eyes
You deserve a prize

Watch a war under the sheets
Get a coffee down the street
Plastic bags in harmony
Everybody's incomplete
And who's the best at saving face?
Who's the toughest in the race?
Forget the pulp you have for brains
You're my nomination

And you deserve an Oscar
For pretending nothing's wrong
Every day, it bursts the seams
But you put on your jeans
Like the greatest actor
Acting like the world is not
Breaking up, it slowly dies
You deserve a prize
