lyrics

It's a ramshackle life since I've become a housewife I've given up my career as a frozen yogurt pusher extraordinaire No more styrofoam it's time for me to roam
We still manage to have fun even though my sugar daddy's under the gun
Do you believe in magic like dreams coming true well I'm living the dream it's just slightly skewed I've given up on perfection in every way The cuts and the scratches lend character they say

I'm a musician and I play with sound Trying to be an artist of the underground Buried so deep I can't see the light of day Wonder if there's anything worthwhile left to say
I paid my dues and I've earned this time Now I'm shouting in the wind and I'm lost in the rhyme My life is getting smaller as it fits on a dot I'm twisted and contorted in a tiny little knot

Sugar daddy pounds his bible it's science he interjects We evolved to survive and the rest is just side effects So I go on with this game of my ramshackle life Ride it like a wave the joy and the strife
Don't know how much time there is left anymore Live like it's my last moment that's what I'm here for Let go of caring if I matter at all Be who I am and get up when I fall

And we're sleeping in our car and we're sleeping in the sand And were doing it together and somehow it feels so grand
