lyrics

Lyrics by Derek Smith and Andrew Krolikowski

Ordinary and everything's scary
I've got no money, but I've got a canary
I've got a friend she said "Don't be wary,
Your nature's impervious to debt."
It's another expression about blank expressions,
Another joke about running engines
And everyone's happy and everyone's laughing
Except the Ozone Layer

I will wait outside.
Brittany, set me right.

Ordinarily I'm the scary one,
But you're a dreamcatcher to all you're after.
All I know is my dreams came to an end
when I woke up this morning.

Meet me there tonight.
Your dreams could set me right.

There's something romantic about dead Romantics
And dreams of starving to death in a panic
And everyone's worried in love
Completely unaware of anything.
