I really have to clean up my room You know its been so long since I've seen my floor It's getting kind of scary in fact I suspect That when I finally clear away I won't know her anymore How we'll have grown so far apart From those early days with the fresh new start So in the end it won't matter at all So why should I bother with the rise and the fall So I quietly lay back down And watch TV But these are the things we tell ourselves Eventual stories designed to amuse It's a game we play and we play it well In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose So we can keep hiding So we can survive And keep on believing Someday we'll go outside & drive Gonna go outside & drive... I have resolved not to leave my house Till my floor comes back and my room is clean So I'm really kind of glad that my TV's here While I concoct my plan to fulfill my dream Now won't that be wonderful when I'll finally be done I just can't wait for it then I'll start to have fun It's getting hard lately to concentrate All my appointments cancelled cause I'm horribly late You know I think I need a prison In order to dream of being free But these are the things we tell ourselves Eventual stories designed to amuse It's a game we play and we play it well In fact we're so damn good that we try to lose So we can keep hiding So we can survive And keep on believing Someday we'll go outside & drive
