Lyrics

ON STANDBY

Overworked and underpaid
This TV dinner is no accident
Climbing slowly to the top
This ladder stretches toward the infinite
Circumstance is the bitch that I caress
Ever wonder why there's no school for this

Take a hobo out to lunch
Ride a train into the afternoon
Find a zoo that fits your taste
The mental exercise of old cartoons
With freedom to invent your storyboard
Tell a stranger of your love behind closed doors

My clock's broke, I left no time for you and I

Pump more coffee in these veins
Force this animal to shake and twitch
Claw incessantly at brain
And its tendency to aim then miss
A marketing strategy won't keep you near
Put all attention on a false hope career

My clock's broke, I left no time for you and I
Taken for granted my love sits on standby
