lyrics

LEFT TO MY OWN DEVICES

Left to my own devices
I’ll be camped out on the kitchen floor
Doing the late show with liquid disguises
Appearing nightly from 10 to 4

Maybe a trip for a bag of prizes
Then nimbly stumble the way to bed
Measure the inches from the silver label
Countdown the hours to an aching head instead
When can we do it again

Left to my own devices
All the skeletons will be shown the door
We’ve got no taste for your bye and byeses
Cuz what good is a memory for?

A blooper reel for your entertainment
A compilation of canes and gongs
Recite your lines as you pound the pavement
An owner's guide on how to do it wrong
When can we do it again?

Who’s to say it’s wrong
We’ve only got so long
And who’s to know what’s right
It’s just the stars and us tonight
So lay down your head and be dead til tomorrow

Left to my own devices
There’s oh so many ways to fall
Trying my hand at the at the high wire reprises
It’s just the kick I was looking for

I never wanted your understanding
I never need for a reason why
I trip the trip and then i stick the landing
How many times can times be many more
When can we
When can we
When can we do it again
