Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks - Forever 28 Lyrics

I can see the mystery
Of you and me
Will never quite add up
No one is your perfect fit
I do not believe in that shit
Don't you know that every bubble bursts?

Kill me I'm aware
You can't repair a light bulb
Once you're gone for history is not a phase
A doughnut glaze will rot your teeth
And leave you crazed
Time to drag your dead heels in the dirt

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the the ? and the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
I was made to mock charades

To call spades spades
When will it level off?
Such a buzz kill, yes I am
I kill momentum when I can
There's no parade I
Cannot rain on with my poison eyes

Kill me lurking in the shadow of the good life
What's real for you is real pretend
Play the turtle to the hare
And soon enough it's everywhere
Get it over with and just confirm

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the the ? and the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
