They Might Be Giants - Let's Get This Over With lyrics

The drumbeat never changes tempo It's steady like a rock And like a rock it crushes you as it gets louder The drum gets louder and louder And you know there is no parking on the dance floor And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow Creep across the ground until the day is done All the while the planet circles 'round the sun Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with Even when you're out of work you still have a job to do Even when you don't know what it is Your job knows what it is What it is is it's coming to get you I'm talking to myself even when I'm saying “you” And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow Creep across the ground until the day is done All the while the planet circles 'round the sun Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with After all the spelling mistakes After all the groping in the dark Can this page of strange gibberish Get a final punctuation mark? You're still hanging around the clambake After every clam has been baked No applause Awkward pause Hand extended waiting for a shake And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow Creep across the ground until the day is done All the while the planet circles 'round the sun Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with Hurry up and let's get this over with You don't have to go home but you can't stay here Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with
