lyrics

I got a fly and he lives in my room
He came in through the window and now he’s stuck here
Now he’s stuck here
I didn’t give him a name
Because the funeral is in a couple of days
And I don’t wanna write a eulogy
Yea, I don’t wanna write a eulogy

I know a guy and he don’t got a phone
He’s going off the grid for a while
He said he wanna make it real again
Yea, he wanna make it real again
I haven’t seen him for months
Why? Cause if you wanna get back in touch
Well then you gotta send a messenger
Yea, you gotta send a messenger
Pigeon

And in this ever-stranging world in which we live in
There’s no meaning, it’s like being
Underwater in a desert, oh no…

There is something I’d like to say to you
But I don’t got time now
So leave a message with this pigeon that I found
Disconnect and disassociate from you and me and everyone
We’re just faces in the crowd
We’re just faces in the crowd

I got a boat and it don’t got a motor
I’d sail it to Taiwan if I could only paddle far enough
If I could only paddle far enough
Then maybe I’d come back with a couple of wives
And a story about how I didn’t even have to talk that much
I didn’t even have to talk that much
To anyone at all

Well isn’t that nice?
They say the silent treatment’s therapy
For those who like it quiet
But I want it louder, so where’s the noise?
Yea, where’s the marching band and the million people
Shouting in the street, I wanna hear ‘em singing...

There is something I’d like to say to you
But I don’t got time now
So leave a message with this pigeon that I found
Disconnect and disassociate from you and me and everyone
We’re just faces in the crowd
We’re just faces in the crowd

I didn’t have to talk that much
I didn’t even have to talk that much
I didn’t even have to…
