Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - Wishing For Contentment lyrics

Well, you know sometimes I find myself Wishing for contentment Hoping for relentment Venting my resentment On the happy few, on the happy few, yeah Awaiting resolution And dreams of restitution But finding retribution Is just another thing to do 'Cause you've got to keep yourself busy Visit aunt Lizzy Just see how she's been But when you're making a late run Two judgmental matrons retort See what I mean? A seeming reprobation Perhaps, it's my vocation Oh, nauseous elation Comes to mind but fades so soon, ah Wishing for contentment Hoping for relentment Venting my resentment On the happy few Yes, I'm awaiting resolution And dreams of restitution, restitution Finding retribution Is just another thing You've got to keep yourself busy Visit aunt Lizzy Just see how she's been But when you're making a late run Two judgmental matrons retort See what I mean? A seeming reprobation Perhaps, it's my vocation Oh, nauseous elation Comes to mind but fades so soon It fades so soon It fades so soon
