Desert Island Questionnaire

歌詞

Say that you were stranded on a desert island What books you gonna bring? What friends would tag along? Say you had a month, you knew you were dying How'd you spend your time? What goodbyes would take too long? You don't like this game and you take exception Who wants all this trouble, even hypothetical? With the charging sky above And the ground below that could swallow everyone Staring at your phone at another party Spend a lot on clothes, got a lot of skin to show People in the pool like a drowning army Smoke alarm emotes and the hotel lobby glows Wish that you could dance, but you got no partner Keep tapping on your glass 'cause you wanna make a toast To the ennui of our times To the selfishness in everyone you know Made a lot of friends, but they can't be trusted Don't know what their angle is Post up at the bar and I'm double-fistin' Talking to a mannequin I don't know what it means when he takes my pulse And says that I'm a lot like him I say, "that's fair enough That's why I'm tryin' to loosen up" In every lunatic must be well-intention Sets himself apart, he's an instrument of god I took her from the playground to the farmhouse cellar Kissed her while he killed her like a good Samaritan They finally found her body many Autumns after Interviewed her mother, said, "She'd now be 21 And although we lost her young I know the good lord has a plan for all of us" Mormons at the door, they look clean and handsome Always have a good sales pitch Your little sister swears that she can read my aura But I can't take her serious Need something to blame for this human nature Is that what this condition is? I'm so bored with my life, but I'm still afraid to die Everyone's asleep in this burning building And I can't wake 'em up in time You go on ahead, I'll be right behind you We're headed to the finish line I can't get closer till this is over Pretend that you were stranded on a desert island What would be the message that you'd spell out for the plane? Say the engine failed when that plane was flyin' If you were the pilot, would you curse or would you pray? No one's gonna cry at this John Doe funeral Not a lot to say, didn't even have a name Light a candle just in case he was someone's friend Throw some flowers on the grave
