Ok Overture
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These are our drums
This is our melody
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Now, listen closely as our drums become our melody
And here's our song
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
So let me play my violin for you (bang, bang, bang)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
So let me play my violin for you
The truth is that I'm screwed
Still, joe, do you think I'm cool?
I got friends in a lot of weird places (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Wonder if they're gonna call, depending what my face is (two, three, four)
I got friends in a lot of weird places (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Wonder if they're gonna call, depending what my face is
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yеah-yeah-yeah
Humpty dumpty when, humpty dumpty whеn
Humpty dumpty went down
He said " screw it, I'ma smile right through it
And I'll scream when no one's around "
Humpty dumpty when, humpty dumpty when
Humpty dumpty went down
He said " screw it, I'ma smile right through it
And I'll scream when no one, when no one
When no one's around, around, around, around
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
And I'll scream when no one, when no one, when no one's around
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum set in a sad orchestra
One day, maybe someday in a world speeding up
It's getting hard, so very hard to keep up
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum set
In a sad orchestra
One day I won't know what to write
And I can't be eighteen my whole life
But I'm too fucking young to feel so fucking old
But I'll try and I'll try and I'll try
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright
Bang, bang, bang
But I'm way less sad
Adventure is out there
Come on, guy
Bang, bang, bang
But it's all I have
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright
