Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage Except For The Fact That It Isn't
So many planes in the air with people going somewhere and voices on the radio dials
All of the signs pointing towards awesome times and the message is signed off with smiles
I woke up one time. The shower was fine. My exercise is better with practice
I can stand on the scale, drop the bills in the mail, and walk out while suffocating in blackness
So I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't (what's wrong with you?)
So I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't (what's wrong with you?)
All the trees shake and fly tossing leaves in the sky
A squirrel stops eating and sees me
And he's eating again because he sees I'm a friend
And he knows he can just take it easy
And the morning returns and the steamroller churns until the highway is straightened and flattened
And the sun comes and dangled at warm happy angles and I wake up and wish I hadn't
So I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't (what's wrong with you?)
So I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't (what's wrong with you?)
Tell 'em Mem
I can work on some stuff
I can stress when it's tough
I can make a to-do list and do it
At the end of the day, I can sit back and say that's one less
And at least I got through it
There's a roof and a floor, and there's walls and a door, and there's a table, a chair, and a bed
So I must be okay. So how come every day I wake up and I wish I was dead
I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't (what's wrong with you?)
I must be out of my mind because everything is fine (nothing wrong)
Except for the fact that it isn't
(nothing wrong)
(what's wrong with you?)
(nothing wrong)
(what's wrong with you?)
