Lyrics

[00:00.00] I can't talk, I got to go
[00:04.16] Don't call me back, I won't get the door
[00:08.14] Got to focus on the job
[00:12.02] 'Cause I got a new job climbing the walls
[00:16.68] I was grinding my teeth
[00:18.49] I was wasting my youth
[00:20.32] And using up my teeth
[00:24.28] Now I'm done chewing my nails
[00:28.18] Hanging my head, chasing my tail
[00:31.94] It got so bad I quit my job
[00:35.67] Then I got a new job climbing the walls
[00:42.16] Too much junk, too much junk
[00:46.63] Can we please clear out this house?
[00:50.76] In the trunk, in the trunk
[00:54.56] And then we'll take it all to the dump
[00:58.47] Then we won't need the car
[01:00.48] 'Cause we'll stay where we are
[01:02.48] And I'll have all this room
[01:06.17] I got tired of pacing the floor
[01:09.80] Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
[01:13.84] Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls
[01:22.22] I was grinding my teeth
[01:24.21] I was wasting my youth
[01:26.26] And using up my teeth
[01:29.62] Now I'm done chewing my nails
[01:33.47] Hanging my head, chasing my tail
[01:37.33] It got so bad I quit my job
[01:41.01] Then I got a new job climbing the walls
[01:51.77] The deep end, the deep end
[01:55.65] People talk a lot, but they don't know
[01:59.63] They pretend, they pretend
[02:03.58] They don't really know how deep it goes
[02:07.05] Now I misunderstood,
[02:09.38] Thought the wall was just good
[02:11.32] For staring blankly at
[02:15.09] I got tired of pacing the floor
[02:18.85] Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor
[02:22.91] Walked away ever since I got a new job climbing the walls
[02:38.89] Now I'm done chewing my nails
[02:42.83] Hanging my head, chasing my tail
[02:46.34] It got so bad I quit my job
[02:50.06] Then I got a new job climbing the walls
[02:54.31] Got a new job climbing the walls
[02:58.25] Got a new job climbing the walls
[03:02.27] END
