lyrics

I don't know what I do this for
I don't know what I do this for
Spent my life on this rickety floor

Did I do good?
I'm not too sure
Waiting on
Some signature of yours

When I was a baby I did not cry
Not even when I got sand in my eyes
I don't know what I do this for

Holding it in
To my deep core
Stuff it in
A pit to ignore

The heat of a moment is extended cool down
I went to clown college and I only learned to frown
Visited a wax museum through the lost and found
And I got hired to stand around

Mannequins posing in a clothing store
Looking like a squad of mute matadors
I don't know what I think this for

I'm jealous of the headless
Groupies in store
Flaunting their bodies
With rock hard cores

Idiots on TV shows get a lot of girlfriends
I spent a lot of time trying to be just like them
There's not much to relationships when the laugh tracks plays
At every scene's end
