The Lawrence Arms - Presenting: the Dancing Machine (The Robot With the Monkey Head) Lyrics
Day one has just begunI'm burnt, broken, dazed and numbBeginnings feel more like endsFriends feel less and less like friendsShake, shake, shake, shakeOff another dumb mistakeI'm stupider than youYou can see it in my faceSee it in my sloping browAnd foreheadI'm missing all the missivesBecause I'm stone deadWe're ***** ups and perverts, we're dickweeds and drunksDrowning in rivers chained into trunksThis new work is awkward, I don't like the linesI hate all the people with pinpointed eyesShake, shake, shake, shakeOff another dumb mistakeI'm stupider than youYou can see it in my face***** what we sayAnd all that we doI'm saving myselfFor something beautifully true
