lyrics

To have no opinion is a fine option

Speaking backwards with no sound
Flipping pages upside down
Every day a new outrage
I'm alright but I'm not OK
Shower breakfast start the car
9 hours til the bar
Knock em back, brush teeth, to bed
Then do it all again

An enormous oak tree with a cool and pleasant shade

But what do I know?
I'm so comatose

Arrive on time leave it unsaid
Staying late just to get ahead
Walk about from here to there
But don't interrupt and please don't stare

An enormous oak tree with a cool and pleasant shade

The ocean is never truly blue, did you ever notice it?
Your life, it is never truly about you, did you ever notice?

The blue, blue sky, the sea so wide

The mountains they do not care
About the planes up in the air
And should they fall into the sea
It won't really make a difference to me

An enormous oak tree with a cool and pleasant shade
You'll never find me, I am otherwise engaged
