Gum

[Verse 1]
I found myself in a massive disco
Reading books about Autumn perennials
And when I turned my head I saw that she had gone
To take a dip in a nearby fishpond

[Verse 2]
I lived a life full of plenty and sin
Making money with my dog
Singing for the anti-altruists
Making things turn heavy and more heavy

[Verse 3]
And when they caught me I lay down in a bed
For twenty days straight I did not move one bit
My head held me, my head held me down
Cars passed the window, light flew around

[Verse 4]
Next seven drinkers threw me in the water
The riot started over some man’s wallet
And when I fell, I fell from a great height
Then there was nothing, nothing but water

[Bridge]
John?
Hey, John?
Hey John?
John?

[Outro]
Now I spend my days sharpening pencils
Those days of plenty and sin are well gone
Live in a flat made of old science periodicals
Sometimes I even take the dog for a run
Water the plants every so often
Buy tables to remove the gum
Attach the gum to the ball in the living room
I find this to be the best way to have fun
