lyrics

SILLY SONG

got no money left for the festivals
feel like a husky in the rain
nothing to tear away and no troup to comfort me
this summer's driving me insane

everyone is having babies now
makes them so happy helpless happy oh
just imagine when december comes
there will be thousand little footsteps in the snow

and i want to sing you a silly song
about nothing special
special stuff is sad
it will make you dance
in front of your bathroom mirror
with your toothbrush
and your funny hair

the second verse is starting nowhere now
as most second verses do
it walks around and kicks some stones away
with its storytelling shoes

and it ends up let's say by accident
under your window baby light's still on
and it drinks a lot cause it takes a lot
to get rid of the shit and keep on keeping on

and it will sing you a silly song
about nothing special
special stuff is sad
it will make you dance
in front of your bathroom mirror
with your toothbrush
and your funny hair
