lyrics

All I've got is an index card, probability and a wire
Keeping me in a self made state of agoraphobia
Rewards are paid to the bold
But the timid still have options
So I stare at the telephone
But the circuit never seems to close

Hours feel like desperate years full of beards and coconuts
Searching for a random plane
That only turns out to be another albatross

It's hard to recall the shape of your face
After seeing the depth in your eyes
Theological mathematics capsuled in a single frame
Your aura is like getting shot by a dart full of endorphins
Unable but to submit to what I hope is benevolence

I don't play free cell because it stimulates my mind
Falling sand to remind me I'm sitting busy doing nothing

You ask me if I know I'm smarter than the average bear
And I ask what does it matter
When I look how far its got me
My epic mastery of the wrong place at the right time
Atrophies ambition into dreams of a drunken Mitty

I could put all this to rest but I'm afraid what the answer is
Words ricochet inside my head but never escape to the air
Giving in to O.C.D. 'cause I can't seem to smoke enough
What's the point of knowing you could
When you're pretty sure that you won't?

If I could distil signals I would be a wealthy man
Instead of a fat-assed shut in watching Aqua Teen
And waiting for my Onion Burst

You ask me if I know I'm smarter than the average bear
And I ask what does it matter
When I look at all the good its done me
I'm just a teenage boy in a rapidly decaying shell
Who lost the luster being smarter than the average bear
