sick and tired and
hot and wired
tiptoeing down to the thicket to pick a tale
kicking out the inside
waiting for the free ride
off to the land of the
people who don't want any
more of your marmalade
it's the stuff that gives the cheesy dip a bad name
tastes an awful lot like it's penciled in a PDA
eating up beating up
sucking up to the lucky ones
who always pay for yesterdays
mistakes with all the shame
and you can keep the change
oh, your marmalade
it's the stuff that gives my dreams a coffee stain
smells an awful lot like whiffy tooth decay
television geared toward a complex algorithm
formulating plans to send them all away
the moving walk is nearing its end so
please attend to children and watch your step cuz it's all
more of your marmalade
it's an awful lot like space junk
streakin' cross the sky
but it's ok
if you think about it this way
