This was poorly planned   And executed twice as bad   And now we're swapping stories 'cross the table      Yeah, it's rather sad   That mom would cry 'cause dad got mad   So she locked herself in a burnt out house   While wedding bells were ringing out      This was poorly wrote   It's a shipwreck note for note   Despite it's many flaws it has you smitten      You're blinded by a verse or two   Convinced that they're all about you   But I'm drunk and just sittin'   swingin' on your front porch singing      Keep it to yourself   Make your life a living hell   Die a little every day   Most people die that way      And when it all went wrong   You became a ghost   It's not as hard as you'd supposed   We're animals wearing clothes      Well now you know my tricks   I oversimplify a bit   And I break things down until they're small and friendly      Well that includes your heart   And like a rundown shopping cart   Goes creaking down the aisle   Throwing sparks and faking smiles      Keep it to yourself   Make your life a living hell   Die a little every day   Most people die that way      And when it all went wrong   You became a ghost   It's not as hard as you'd supposed   We're animals wearing clothes
