why be great when you can be mediocre celebrate your birthdays drunk a cake your step-mother baked for you Betty Crocker add eggs & water while the good die young find a stray dog bring him into your meagre home week-to-week while unknown numbers ring ring atone learn to sleep alone write alone seasons and calendar gods numbers bones turn away smile alone share with a stranger arch-angel of one forgive yourself play the lottery (if you like) lose and lose ache and ache embrace come undone out of gas miles from home a few more steps grown

grow up find a girl settle down
why be great when you can be mediocre celebrate your birthdays drunk a cake your step-mother baked for you Betty Crocker add eggs & water while the good die young find a stray dog bring him into your meagre home week-to-week while unknown numbers ring ring atone learn to sleep alone write alone seasons and calendar gods numbers bones turn away smile alone share with a stranger arch-angel of one forgive yourself play the lottery (if you like) lose and lose ache and ache embrace come undone out of gas miles from home a few more steps grown
