lyrics

Big sitting Favoreau, prone to self-promises
Wary of strangers and blondes on the patio
Broken by brokenness, underwhelmed, overdressed
Only a bit depressed with miles to go

Seeking with tired eyes, justified, just in time
Open to no one and closed to themselves
Well, lover of love and care, hater of getting there
Spoiled by rhetoric they cannot spell

Perfect if perfect meant being it all and beyond
Everything, all the time, all the while, already gone
Gone to pick up the chicken and the wine at the store
Just to slip on your carpet and die in the doorway
It's great to be stupid, but it pays to be sharp
And a little bit of both is what most of us are

So I might fall in love or crash my moped
But both at the same time would just go to my head
You may think from my feet it's a hell of a climb
Yet it's more of a step when you stand five foot nine

Well, big sitting Favoreau, the freestanding rodeo
They'll ask you to dance as you're standing to leave
Well, it's better than nothing, you might say, you know it's something
But by then Margot Robbie has your wallet and your keys

Perfect if perfect meant being it all and beyond
Everything, all the time, all the while, already gone
Gone to pick up the chicken and the wine at the store
Just to slip on your carpet and die in the doorway

It's great to be stupid, but it pays to be sharp
And a little bit of both is what most of us are
Well, it's so great to be stupid, but it pays to be sharp
And a little bit of both is what most of us are
