COUP

COUP - The Shipment lyrics

I really have to clean up my room

You know its been so long since I've seen my floor

It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect

That when I finally clear away I won't know her anymore

How we'll have grown so far apart

From those early days with the fresh new start

So in the end it won't matter at all

So why should I bother with the rise and the fall

So I quietly lay back down

And watch TV

But these are the things we tell ourselves

Eventual stories designed to amuse

It's a game we play and we play it well

In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose

So we can keep hiding

So we can survive

And keep on believing

Someday we'll go outside & drive

Gonna go outside & drive...

I have resolved not to leave my house

Till my floor comes back and my room is clean

So I'm really kind of glad that my TV's here

While I concoct my plan to fulfill my dream

Now won't that be wonderful when I'll finally be done

I just can't wait for it then I'll start to have fun

It's getting hard lately to concentrate

All my appointments cancelled cause I'm horribly late

You know I think I need a prison

In order to dream of being free

But these are the things we tell ourselves

Eventual stories designed to amuse

It's a game we play and we play it well

In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose

So we can keep hiding

So we can survive

And keep on believing

Someday we'll go outside & drive
