lyrics

I looked up I looked down
From the top of the stairs
I looked east I looked west
Underneath all the chairs
Never invited these creatures
Into my home
They never helped with the rent
So now they're all gone
So if you press your ear
Way down to the ground
You'll find that bugs
Are nowhere to be found

I don't like the high-ceiling
I don't care for these lights
And from window to window
All the stuff I can't buy
These kids hanging around
They make me feel old
I cannot walk bare-feet
Or my feet will get cold
So my favorite place
To bulldoze wall to wall
Is that one place
Also known as the mall

Me I can't complain
I'm assuming you've got out of city plates
I don't mind the rain
With an umbrella and raincoat that's easy to say
Won't the world please somehow
Start spinning upside down

There are things I don't mind
There are those I can't stand
Not the girl with green eyes
But her stupid boyfriend
I'll run over this bloke
With my classic car
And alone will elope
Pretty bold but bizarre
And the songs that I like
Will be none but my own
They'll be easy to write
And will not take too long
