lyrics

Is a vessel really built to last?
Am I ever gonna see the sun?
If you say it's gonna work that fast?
Is it really gonna get shit done?
And now I work it back
Now I'm gonna have some fun
Walking on the painted tracks
Forty hour set to get undone
Well

Something's lurking in the air and it's alright to be afraid
The possibility of unknowingly carrying the plague
So I won't take the time for you
Got no reason to complain
Don the label, ingénue
But I won't take it any other way

Is a vessel really built to last?
Am I ever gonna see the sun?
If you say it's gonna work that fast?
Is it really gonna get shit done?
And now I work it back
Guess I'm gonna feel the same
Walking on the painted tracks
Forty hour set to get that bank
Well

Everything I've ever wanted has been forced upon my life
Chocolate peanut butter cocktails are a way to waste the time
Okay

There's something in the air
There's something in the air
There's something in the air
(Pestilence)
There's something in the air
(Pestilence)

Is a vessel really built to last?
Am I ever gonna see the sun?
If you say it's gonna work that fast?
Is it really gonna get shit done?
And now I work it back
Now I'm gonna have some fun
Walking on the painted tracks
Forty hour set to get undone
Well
