lyrics

he’s a big kid
on the swing set
holding on for life
but he gets too tired
so he rubs his eyes
jackson teases
on the driveway
throwing out some lie
was it worth a try?
did he get the prize?

he’s a big shot
with the pumpkins
and a solution for time
such an ugly kind
what a stupid crime
rip the bandaids
see the skin scrape
tape the guitar clean
lay the body down
too composed for sound

nothing new to me
just an old routine
from way back in the day
he said it’s okay, it’s better off this way

he’s a big star
doesn’t care much
if he lives or dies
when he gets too high
or when the well runs dry
leaves the bus stop
walks the third block
to the county line
made it super fine
yeah he was up all night

i’m a grown man
work a day job
get my laundry done
in a quiet hall
never too much fun
but i’m a clean one
and i got freedoms
spend my time alone
in a quiet home
that i used to know

let me take you down to a plastic place

nothing new to me
just an old routine
from way back in the day
he said it’s okay
