lyrics

I want to go for a walk but my feet are still shot
I’d take my dog to the park
She’s the best friend I got
She’s not a killer, but she can kind of be a bully
She’s not a killer
I’ve never even known a killer

What’s the largest you have?
I need a flattering fit
I want to pick out a diet, but it’s hard to commit
I’ve got a pit in my stomach
It’s hard to relax
It’s hard to complain and not repeat myself
I watch my spirit fall out of my mouth
And vanish into the air

I know how to misbehave
Animals will dig my grave
I know how to misbehave
Animals will make my grave the place to be seen

I like to listen to kids talking trash in the street
They’re the only ones who can laugh honestly
If I smile, it’s only cause I wanted you to notice I was capable
I die a little every time add another twenty dollars to my Metro card

I like to worry
I’m the jittery sort
I can’t afford to be patient when life is so short
I like to think about all the ways the world will probably end
I like the animals
Thank god for animals
Three cheers to all of my friends

I know how to misbehave
Animals will dig my grave
I know how to misbehave
Animals will make my grave the place to be seen
