Lyrics

[00:49.300] I'm a breather, mail receiver
[00:53.000] And I don't know where I stand
[00:56.350] Not since someone informed me
[01:00.000] That my house was built on sand
[01:03.400] And it's not the earth beneath me
[01:06.800] It's just the concept of the land
[01:09.300] And I'm standing on the corner
[01:13.000] When the buildings they all fell
[01:16.800] And you blink once, you're a goner
[01:20.000] Everything just goes pell-mell
[01:22.800] It's a real hard sell
[01:25.800] My conceptual hell
[01:29.500] Not even good for kindling, no
[01:32.300] When the buildings they all fell
[01:58.700] I'm a breather, mail receiver
[02:05.300] Bottom feeder, just getting by
[02:12.400] And you know it's all just par for the course
[02:15.900] But you blame it on some non-existent force
[02:19.300] Oh yeah, of course
[02:23.000] You know you can't ride the concept of the horse
[02:25.700] But still I try
[02:30.200] In a cartoon desert landscape
[02:32.000] With a pair of ACME jetskates
[02:33.800] Focused on my destination
[02:35.800] I seem to have forgot my station
[02:37.250] Now it's time to face the nation
[02:54.300] And I'm riding to meet you
[02:58.000] On a brown gray speckled mare
[03:01.700] But there's something that unnerves me
[03:05.000] Like I'm riding on thin air
[03:08.900] These few doubts disserve me
[03:12.100] Thinking no one really cares
[03:14.100] And I'm jumping over fences
[03:18.000] On this obstacle course
[03:21.600] But it seems I'm getting nowhere
[02:25.000] On the concept of the horse
[03:27.900] It's a real hard sell
[03:30.800] My conceptual hell
[03:34.800] Not even good for kindling
[03:37.300] When the buildings they all fell
[03:42.300] I'm a breather, bottle-feeder
[03:49.400] How many liters must I imbibe?
[03:56.300] And you know it's all just par for the course
[04:00.000] But you blame it on some non-existent force
[04:03.400] Oh yeah, of course
[04:07.000] You know you can't ride the concept of the horse
[04:09.800] But still I try
