Lyrics

[00:06.725] BARBARA: Look at this stuff
[00:07.998] God, it's depressing
[00:09.566] ADAM, spoken: You don't like this stuff?
[00:10.860] Barbara, this is our stuff...
[00:12.697] BARBARA, sung: A shrine to the feelings
[00:14.443] We've been repressing
[00:16.447] ADAM, spoken: Well, then maybe we should go
[00:19.330] BARBARA, sung: Unfinished projects
[00:21.145] Meaningless objects
[00:22.462] Plans I abandoned or quit
[00:25.365] It's the stuff of our lives
[00:27.897] And all of it's shit
[00:29.485] ADAM, spoken: What? Barbara?!
[00:32.349] BARBARA, sung: Books on computers
[00:33.655] A "spin-your-own-yarn" kit?
[00:35.498] ADAM, spoken: Okay, that... Wasn't as much fun as I thought it'd be...
[00:38.642] BARBARA, sung: Home-brewed kombucha
[00:40.222] That tasted like armpit
[00:41.779] ADAM, spoken: We are not kombucha people, we did find that out
[00:45.139] BARBARA, sung: Take it and trash it
[00:46.695] Burn it or smash it
[00:48.262] We have to adapt to survive
[00:51.411] We can be fighters
[00:52.728] With fire inside us
[00:54.315] We're more than detritus
[00:55.868] We're finally alive!
[00:57.711] The Barbara you married
[01:01.017] She Is dead and buried
[01:03.367] Six feet below
[01:07.023] And now Barbara the doormat
[01:09.898] She's coming back in a new format
[01:12.998] Time to let go
[01:16.379] Say hello
[01:18.712] To Barbara 2.0!
[01:22.024] ADAM, spoken: I never even used this...
[01:23.051] But then I felt bad that I never used it
[01:25.394] BARBARA, spoken: Break it!
[01:27.652] ADAM, sung: Barbara, you're right
[01:28.959] I think I've been hiding--
[01:30.528] BARBARA, spoken: I was too! I don't even like pottery!
[01:34.015] ADAM, sung: Stuck out of sight
[01:35.300] Like my un-used aluminum siding
[01:37.398] BARBARA, spoken: We are NOT aluminum siding people!
[01:40.538] ADAM, sung: Tragic and static
[01:41.856] Trapped in this attic
[01:43.409] Now Adam is shedding his skin
[01:46.838] No more excuses
[01:48.145] We're no longer useless
[01:49.716] We've got nothing to lose
[01:51.020] We can finally begin!
[01:53.116] The new Adam is wiser
[01:56.009] The old one's fertilizer
[01:58.639] It's time to let go
[02:02.306] Say hello!
[02:05.879] BARBARA: I'm tired of doors
[02:07.449] To better or more
[02:09.032] We could just walk
[02:10.604] But we've done that before
[02:12.171] What we cannot ignore is Lydia needs us
[02:15.566] ADAM: That must be the reason she sees us
[02:18.465] BARBARA: Adam, I wanna stay
[02:21.082] She needs people who won't run away
[02:23.991] Friends who don't stop at problems or obstacles
[02:27.109] Not a house, but a home
[02:32.025] BOTH: Ready, set, let's go!
[02:46.989] Time to let go
[02:50.556] Cause the new upgraded Maitlands
[02:53.633] Are charging out the gates and
[02:56.470] They’re gonna unload
[02:59.891] Say hello...
[03:01.960] To Maitlands 2.0!
[03:08.020] Maitlands 2.0!
[03:14.818] Maitlands 2.0!
