Lyrics

Florida

Although we'd often wondered

It was no thing of wonder

The shit that flew from our minds

While wearing stains of fresh fruit

And riding on shoes of horse glue

On this ridiculous climb

With great tunnel vision

We'd built ourselves a mission

To ride on bullets inside

Oh, what a vain description

Of what we have been missin'

So why would anyone try?

It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Put up the closing sign

I wasn't always cargo

I was once kind of my own

I guess I'll pack up my mind

Well, it took so much effort

Not to make an effort

Oh, what a flawless design

It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Put up the closing sign

Even as I left Florida

It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

And the busy ant empire

Has all deserted hive

It was always worth it

That's the part I seem to hide

Even as I left Florida

Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough

Couldn't quite seem to escape myself

Far enough, far enough, far from Florida

We were all drowsin' in cruise control

Far enough, far enough, wasn't far enough

I stood on my heart's porch thinkin'

Oh, my God, I'll probably have to carry this whole load

I couldn't remember if I tried

I couldn't remember if I took my brain out

Threw it so directly at the goal

I couldn't remember if I—

I, I, I, I could have my mind erased

And still not know exactly what I don't already know

Even as I left Florida
