Eels – New Alphabet

You know what? I’m in a good mood today
Well I’m so happy it’s not yesterday
Man it was brutal, with planning tissues
I guess you could say that I had issues
Well it’s looking good, I dug my way out
I’m changing up what the story’s about

Chorus:
When the world stops making sense
Just take in what you can get
When the people on the streets start looking like silhouettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet

Small thinking people with their small thinking ways
I don’t have time to hear what they say
This is my world, I’m seeking my claim
Thanks for the invite, no thanks just the same
It’s looking good now, full speed ahead
I’ll live the day, by tomorrow I’m dead

Chorus:
When the world stops making sense
Just take in what you can get
When the people on the streets start looking like silhouettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet

I see everything, it’s crystal clear
It’s here!
You know what? I’m in a good mood today
Well I’m so happy it’s not yesterday
Man it was brutal, but it’s all in the past
It’s good to know that it don’t have to last

Chorus:
When the world stops making sense
Just take in what you can get
When the people on the streets start looking like silhouettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stoṗs making sense
I make a new alphabet
