being a person - squalloscope lyrics

i’m sweaty and i’m hopeful on a summer night
i read the news and shouldn’t think things will be alright
the stripes on your shirt remind me of something long ago
maybe the pattern of the carpet of an airport floor or…i don’t know
in the future our shoes will no longer give us blisters
and everyone will know the correct anatomy of the cl-toris
whether or not we should get a new phony gadget
whether or not we will be forgiven for our sins

and you know, being a person, it really f-cks you up
but something here feels right, i think we might both be alive

i refuse to believe that big plans will work out
so i knock on every single wooden surface in town
it’s the anxiety percussion symphony
it’s a highly abstract piece of music
i gotta gotta get to the bottom of this
find the prize in the f-cking cereal box, it’s hit or bliss
i’ll fix this world, i’ll make it right for us
i’ll make nice people out of all those -ssh0l-s
you get a special kind of scar when you grow up in a zoo
where there’s a different kind of elephant in every single room
we fed the holy spirit with bread crumbs
and we watched it sh-t on all our things
sometimes i imagine the westboro baptist church picketing our funerals
and i hope no one else will

and i am sitting on the corner of church and state avenue
i am balancing five cents on the tip of my shoe
there’s a sign out in the yard with a clumsily painted dove
saying something heartfelt and generic about love
like:
you know, being a person
it really f-cks you up
but something here feels right
i think we might both be alive
(you know being a person, it really f-cks you up for life)
you know, being a person
it really f-cks you up
but something here feels right
i think we might both be alive
