lyrics

violinist, drinking guinness
i just can't seem to ever start what i finish
scented candle on your mantle
says apple pie but i'm not buying that shit
it smells like cinnamon and that's really it
woke up this morning in an orchestra pit

you could be a ballerina
and i could be someone that you'll never see
or i could be your little eeyore
and you could be my little winnie the pooh
i'll give you honey and you'll give me the blues
i never liked you but i like what you do

i went to graceland, stood on the grand stand
but a missing person told me to get lost
my lucky penny told me to get tossed
my lord and savior told me to get crossed
and william weller told me to get sauced

hello lamp post, you're a lamp post
when the hell did i start talking to lamp posts?
