I use my outside voice because I have no choice
The barn that I was raised in was constructed out of noise
And now I’m all torn up because my buttercup
Up and gone and left me
Said she finally had enough
Left me here to ruminate
On all she can’t admit, and all she can’t explain

All time what, I never thought, I never thought
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Man, she pulled out the rug from her doodlebug
Rolling down the highway, not a worry in her mind
Here’s a flash card where someone’s written stultify
I take it as a sign
It’s hard to redefine
Same old sad soliloquy
They handed me a broom, the cast has left the room

All time what, stumble about wrapped in a shroud
All time what, partly submerged, playing a dirge

Complete completely completelier
Defeat defeated defeatlier
Complete completely completelier
Defeat defeated defeatlier
All time what, I never thought, I never thought
All time what, things break apart, things break apart
