lyrics

i'm so loud you will awake pardon the earthquake
it's just a modern dance for the middle aged
it brings me joy to make some noise
i'm a 30 year old boy hanging out with dudes in silver lake

i call it quits just to begin starting over with new friends
it's enough to make a pain reliever ache
i hold my breath four times a day just to see if i can swim away
i watch the clock i check my watch i kneel and pray

it's just the same old shit every day
no matter where i let my bullshit out to play
i'll write a song i'll sing along i'll pull my weight
with a fascist wrist that always strums it's way
yeah i have a fascist wrist that never strums my way

i could count a tear for every mile i could drink a beer for every smile
see my happiness is way to fucking fake
with every goal a story told and every ego's made of gold
is it worth all this for just a little fame

and for some change there was a must and since i'm always in a rush
there was no logic in this move out to L.A.
so in a van with a bike rack and a friend cooking up some crack
with left town the morning after christmas day

and now i'm stuck here on my own calling everyone back home
convincing all my boys that i will be o.k.
i left a lady there as well putting both of us through hell
so i guess we'll have to take it day by day

it's just the same old shit every day
no matter where i let my bullshit out to play
i'll write a song i'll sing along i'll pull my weight
no matter how much i think all this shit is fake
there's just no getting over floating here in space

it's just the same old shit every day
flaunting smarts breaking hearts making waves
writing down every word i say
throwing darts for a brand new start just to get away
there's just no getting over floating here in space
yes there's no getting over floating here in space
there's just no getting over floating here in space...
