Lyrics
Let's Get This Over Whit
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.
The drumbeat never changes tempo
It's steady like a rock
And like a rock it crushes you as it gets louder
The drum gets louder and louder
And you know there is no parking on the dance floor
And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow
Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow
Creep across the ground until the day is done
All the while the planet circles 'round the Sun
Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it
And let's get this over with
Even when you're out of work you still have a job to do
Even when you don't know what it is
Your job knows what it is
What it is is it's coming to get you
I'm talking to myself even when I'm saying you
And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow
Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow
Creep across the ground until the day is done
All the while the planet circles 'round the Sun
Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it
And let's get this over with
After all the spelling mistakes
After all the groping in the dark
Can this page of strange gibberish
Get a final punctuation mark?
You're still hanging around the clambake
After every clam has been baked
No applause
Awkward pause
Hand extended waiting for a shake
And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow
Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow
Creep across the ground until the day is done
All the while the planet circles 'round the Sun
Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it
And let's get this over with
Hurry up and let's get this over with
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it
And let's get this over with
