Lyrics:

lord knower, you slow boat rower
the new technology hates you
backs cracking your mascara running this
freeze-dried morning escapes you

you oughta get soaked with water
and lose your morbid fixation
with dogs dying and lost kids crying
across the entire nation

and all the stars that fall in the sea
are there for your anxiety
the fishing flags are at half mast
and carefree kitchens are a blast
so drink up quick, 'cause it's going fast

you wanted to know (repeat)

just when i adjust the frequency
stations clearing are breaking
fire engines are chasing devils
and all the levels are peaking

da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dum
da-da-da-da-da-da-da-day
i never remember da-da none of the words
da-da-da-da-day

and hoisted up on silly strings
the prizes for the stingy queens
they're crawling back with shattered heads
we'd all but given up and said
'they're no longer ours, so they must be dead'

you wanted to know (repeat)

and one day when we flee
from our sweet misery
and shed our human costumes then
revealing somewhat smaller men
go off to work and then back again

you wanted to know

i tell you what i see

i'll see you when i see
