That's how it works The world That's how It works That's how it works The world That's how It works That's how it works It happened last morning It happened last morning It happened last morning It happened last morning There was a flash, no warnings Got stabbed with a swordfish It's probably not that important It happened last morning It happened last I flew back from Saskatoon I knew what I had to do Tryna lose all my attitude There's no beef in a bowl full of rabbit food Shoulder to shoulder, no chance to move Never had a pair of dancing shoes But I've had a panic attack at First Avenue In the back stall at the back of the bathroom I stand up with the last of the laughs Might as well put all of the cash in the trash I guess I shoulda brought a bigger duffle bag Feel like I'm suffocating in this yellow cab Don't let the camera snap you in half Take a little bit back to the lab A lily pad full of tadpoles needs a dad The phonograph played Massive Attack They said it's lonely at the top You lookin' like you trying to find some alone time Click the calendar, schedule a nosedive I'll meet you at the ocean at low tide If you can roll your eyes, then you can open your eyes To be the spokes and the headlights You're flying, you took it to new heights My pupils are giant, looking like Moon Pies It's just a part of the character arc I pull over, put the car into park Turned out the lights, staring into the dark Turned off the motor, I can hear my heart Release the seat belt, then inhale like I'm in Hell I told myself, I'm tryna heal this broken spell But you can tell, this the most alive I've ever felt It happened last morning It happened last morning It happened last morning It happened last morning
