My daily antidote Comes monthly at the most And now I'm waiting on a lifeline That's missing in the post Customer service lines They leave me no reply This song intended to relax me Is playing out of time And it's not worth my time No it's not worth my time He learns to laugh at the news She learns to cope at the movies TV shows set the mood And I don't see you approving So let me now present Twenty years of dull events There's nothing like a hopeful outcome To strip your confidence Another mystery affair Not like you weren't aware And any spark of inspiration Goes out to empty chairs They look back with empty stares They look back with empty stares He learns to laugh at the news She learns to cope at the movies TV shows set the mood And I don't see you approving I'm ticking boxes I resent Soon they're gonna come to light So sick of making too much sense And the candle burns on either side He learns to laugh at the news She learns to cope at the movies TV shows set the mood And I don't see you approving I'm ticking boxes I resent Soon they're gonna come to light So sick of making too much sense And the candle burns on either side
