PEOPLE

Hey look it's ol' black beard
that guy is really weird
he's always pacing back & forth
and he wears tennis shoes to work
and I swear he drinks the most obscure brands of beer like that makes him cultured

And he's talking to skinny slim
the sworn enemy of letting anyone be right except for him
he's always gesturing like he's conducting all his words with his hands
people nod they understand
but they're just entranced by his dancing limbs

And over there is make-up lathered, skinny little cadaver,
everything faked nearly naked girl
she's slouched and pouting and staring at her phone
no idea why someone like her could be alone

And who am I? Oh, I'm just the narrator out here drifting in between
outside the walls of all these little experiments I'm observing
I'm not perfect I've got my own quirks,weaknesses and fears
but the people who live through all these holes I drilled are super weird

the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people through these holes are weird

Oh and check out ring guy the guy who wears rings all the time
like tons of rings, too many rings and he's a guy, that's weird right

And he's friends with this tiny little dude
who brings over all this snack food
and rides a bike with a big antique-looking headlight

They used to have this mutual friend who put up with both of them
but you could tell he just liked the snacks and the stereo system
anyway he met this girl with glasses & curly hair who drags him to yoga classes
every night of the week so now he misses them

And her mom's always hanging around collecting what people left on the ground
she's got a room piled high with weirdness you wouldn't even believe it
so the aimless guy and the yoga girl sat her down and scolded her saying
this garbage belongs in a dump where we can't see it

the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people who live through these holes I drilled are weird
the people through these holes are weird

Look at all these weirdos
with their haircuts
odd-shaped bodies lumbering around on clumsy feet
staring at glowing screens
writing down boring dreams
you should see the manners when someone doesn't know you're watching them eat

And last but not least we've got my favorite oddity
a single woman living independent on her own
she has tons of family and friends
but can't seem to keep up with any of them
she's in this rut and can't figure out how to throw herself a bone

So she's just trying to get by
one day of her life at a time while
everything shoots by temporary and overpriced

She had to go into debt just to stay alive
she has to go out and get wet just to stay dry
wonders if she can collect on her investment
before she dies

And sure she knows she's lucky but knowing that doesn't change the fact
that she cries a couple times a week for no clear reason
and the choices that she's made well aren't they choices, didn't she make them
if there's a right answer why all this celebration of freedom?

She just wants to be all right and to be needed and to be secure
and be able to handle whatever injustice life throws at her
she wants to be seen and heard and understood and appreciated
if only she knew i'm here behind this hole really hoping that she makes it

look at all these weirdos
with their haircuts
odd-shaped bodies lumbering around on clumsy feet
staring at glowing screens
writing down boring dreams
you should see the manners when . . . did he just see me?
