Christmas in a bottle
And hark! the herald angels sing
Sing
There's no need to downplay
You're preaching to the choir anyway
Anyway
I'm well on my way to
Paying off my house with
Streaming
Revenue
Glorious
Glorious
Glorious
Immaculate connection
In touch with everyone you miss
Miss
We need gods and heroes
The invitation said: no gifts

No no no no no time like the future
Now now now now we're back from the past
Time for some old human interaction
We'll conversate with your colleagues and friends
What is it exactly what you do again?
I know you told me about it before
Last year when i also wasn't listening
Last year when nah nah nah nah nah bore
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost them
I kid you not
We're almost there
I didn't prep my smalltalk in advance
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost there
Fire it up!
We're almost there
Let's break the cycle of anxiety
We're so sorry we weren't there earlier
To help you set up the lawn furniture
We're so sorry we weren't there earlier
To help you set up the lawn furniture
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost them
I kid you not
We're almost there
I didn't prep my smalltalk in advance
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost there
Fire it up!
We're almost there
Let's break the cycle of anxiety
La la la la la la lawn furniture
La la la la la la lawn furniture
La la la la la la lawn furniture
(Lawn furniture)
La la la la la la lawn furniture
La la la la la la lawn furniture
La la la la la la lawn furniture
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost them
I kid you not
We're almost there
I didn't prep my smalltalk in advance
(La la la la la la lawn furniture)
Fire up the barbecue
We're almost there
Fire it up!
We're almost there
Let's break the cycle of anxiety

Middle Of The Road

Blast off in the middle of the road
It's well worth the wait for the junction to guide me
Divided between on and off grid
If looks could kill here's looking at you, kid
And in the middle of the process of doing
Anything other than misconstruing
It was too close to call then it hit me
Meridian remedial teacher is off key
And in the middle of the road I'd be dreaming
I can't see straight, but I can pretend
And in the middle of the night I'd be driving
I can't see straight, but I can pretend
I'm not sure this answers
All of your questions
But don't you think this
Was a huge success?

She moves through space
With instruments of choice
And intimate tibetan gongs
One step away
Clip-on man bun
The telltale signs
Church marathon
He revolutionized
The sleaveless sweater
Fashion sense
The biggest paterns
Balancing
Their karmic scales
Incell outcasts
Stop while it lasts
We stumble mapless
Stumble mapless
Stumble mapless
Through the narrative
We stumble mapless
Through our stories
We stumble mapless
Through the narrative
Of labradorian descent
To pet
To worship
And again
I'm prone to exaggeration
This is history
In the making
Stumble

I've got a system
It's not hanging on my wall
I've got a system
To make some sense of it all
It's not a mind map
Not a toolkit
Not a virtual whiteboard
It's a beacon, a bale fire
It's a system, it is mine
Time is a river without banks I'm well aware
Pi equals three, yeah god she bowed her head for math
How to capture
The very moment
Right after the picture's taken
Through the motions
Past the mind
Everything is intertwined
There's this running gag
I'll teach you how to dance
I've got a system
But the reason's lost mid air
(He's got a system)
Flicking lit cigarettes
To your sensible head
Now I'm floating
Modifying
Some would say recalibrating
Reassembling it from parts
Of a previous approach

It's sensitivity readers
(and writers)
With freshly sharpened pencils
(the red kind)
Causing bluntness to minds and manners
(and blindness)
Of Gen Alphas who'll have to save us
(with sharpness)
A full perspective
(and smartness)
On the whole spectrum
(I'm almost)
Of ideas
(Dried up now)
And beliefs

How 'bout a little fresh air?
Let's entertain that thought
Open a window open wide
You didn't need to close that door
We're taught to be professional
With an amateur's pizzazz
Never learned about momentum
Let alone maintaining it
He's sweating like a pig up here
Let us not entertain that thought
Of him and me fainting in the same place
In which we were taught
He's sweating like a pig up here
Let us not entertain that thought
Of him and me fainting in the same place
In which we were taught
He's sweating like a pig up here
Let us not entertain that thought
Of him and me fainting in the same place
In which we were taught

She felt the pain
The pain of the truth
The pain the truth must have felt
When you manhandled
In all honesty
Candour and certainty
She said:
What you can't believe is not a matter of the truth
A shared sense of reality's the best that we can do
I think the universe is trying to send us a message right as rain
Correct me if I'm wrong there's too much drama in this so so comedy
From zero to a hundred where there once was silence I hear hobby horses
It's hiding in plain sight like blood on the capes of a million matadors
Let me put it this way
And you'll push it back
That's how we will interact
So tie up the sails
Relay the derailed
And set foot on on soiled land
She said:
What you can't believe is not a matter of the truth
A shared sense of reality's the best that we can do
