lyrics

Your panda-faced pants
& plaid pajama slacks
will one day wear out from affection
you’re tongue’ll run out of saliva
when your insults don’t inspire ya
so get yourself a new set of distractions
your cosmos is heavier than had been said
& the loudest mouths will scratch their head
you need a new name for perfection

pick a language to lose
pick a new time for your ten o’clock news

when the lion can be proud of all its enemies
nothing but the blue whale & the sea anemone
will make you feel bigger or smaller than you imagine
when your animatronic teddy ruxpin
is both kinda scary & kinda comforting
remember the compartment for the cassette tape
when the dictator gives you nothing to write down
& the benign king fails to impress the town
you need a new name for catastrophe

put on your favorite pair of pants
keep looking for another second chance
