lyrics

There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley
Breakin' all the glass with the noise turned up fully
Tin foil hat's gonna enhance your vision
Both ways, sideways, now you're on a mission

Daisy chain all your caffeinated thoughts
'Til the EKG gonna make you forgot
When the Post-it notes have covered up the wall
And the escalator climbs, you're ready to fall

Sometimes you ride, sometimes you roll
Sometimes you don't know when to let go...

Icicles are drippin' in a fiery sunset
Surgeon Gen's puffin' on a preapproved cigarettes
Redirect the glimmer off some plastic that you found
with the scent of a clue from a wiener-sniffin' hound

Shout it out loud, actin' nervous like a felon
Light it with a match, then collect the melons
Microwave a dish of San Francisco rice
There's a lot you'd like to do and most of it twice

Sometimes you ride, sometimes you roll
Sometimes you don't know when to let go...

When the clouds erupt and water splashes in your eye
like a riptide, tsunami from the sky....

There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley
There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley
There's nothin' upstairs but a lever and a pulley
