I use my outside voice because I have no choice
The barn that I was raised in was constructed out of noise
And now I'm all torn up because my buttercup
Up and gone and left me, said she finally had enough
Left me here to ruminate on all she can't admit
And all she can't explain
All time what, I never thought, I never thought
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Verse
Man, she pulled out the rug from her doodlebug
Rolling down the highway, not a worry in her mind
Here's a flash card where someone's written stultify
I take it as a sign. It's hard to redefine.
Same old sad soliloquy, they handed me a broom
The cast has left the room
All time what, stumble about wrapped in a shroud
All time what, partly submerged playing a dirge
Bridge
Complete completely completelier
Defeat defeated defeatlier
Complete completely completelier
Defeat defeated defeatlier
All time what, I never thought, I never thought
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah,
Ah!
