STEPHEN MALKMUS & THE JICKS
"Forever 28"

I can see
The mystery
Of you and me
Will never quite add up

No one is
Your perfect fit
I do not believe
In that shit
Don't you know that every bubble bursts?
Kill me

I'm aware
You can't repair
A light bulb
Once you're gone
For history is not a phase
A doughnut glaze
Will rot your teeth
And leave you crazed
Time to drag your dead heels in the dirt

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the [?] the [?] and the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud

I was made
To mock charades
To call spades spades
When will it level off?

Such a buzzkill
Yes I am
I kill momentum
When I can
There's no parade I
Cannot rain on with my poison eyes
Kill me

Lurking in the shadow of the good life
What's real for you is real pretend
Play the turtle to the hare
And soon enough it's everywhere
Get it over with and just confirm

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the [?] the [?] and the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
