The Accidental

I catch flies
without meaning to I do
I don't even try
I just catch them all
I'm horizontal, don't cry
It's not your fault
Just the accidental
loss of my dental records
No more pretzel pieces left
to pull from my teeth anymore
all my teeth are torn
a jigsaw on the dashboard
(2x)
Don't fret I kept
myself inside a chest in my room
you can exhume me, if you're feeling gloomy
So just keep talking
and keep walking
and never think I wouldn't want you to
Cause if you hear whisperings
of sharp things that smile and glisten
Scream I'm not listening, I don't miss him
no that much, not yet
And I'm sailing big ships, big ships
And I'm riding big trains, big trains
I'm keeping myself entertained
And if you have forgotten
that I was a good friend,
a perfect weapon for killing time
(2x)
Don't fret I kept
myself inside a chest in my room
you can exhume me, if you're feeling gloomy
And I never thought I'd love you more
No, I never thought I'd love you more
But I never thought like this before
No, I never thought like this before
