lyrics

Well my mother has a statuette of Joseph sitting on a shelf in our kitchen
And she says that he protects our family and watches with everything do
But he doesn't know about the books that she's been having to read so she can learn how to deal her troubled teenager
And he doesn't have a clue about what I've been doing upstairs in the bathroom

And down at the beach with all of the fuck ups
where we're always dancing, all night and all year round
until the polluted water from the bay freezes up in the sands
and we pass out on picnic tables
and we stare into the sky

and we see blackness
we see nothing
we see ourselves
we see nothing in ourselves

And old lover, I'm sorry to say that I've forgotten your name
But do you remember the day you said these words
"It's okay to be nothing as long as you know it"
We were slow dancing in my kitchen to Procul Harum
Our socks were gliding on the hardwood floor
My eyes were staring down at them as your words fell to my ears from your mouth
"It's okay to be as long as you know it"
Well, I'm not sure if I believe,
but it's all that I have to live by
So I'm writing a note to my mother and slipping it between the pages of one of those books that I made her buy
I'm going to say that I'll try to be alright
