New Alphabet

Eels · Wonderful, Glorious [2013]

You know what? I'm in a good mood today

Well I'm so happy it's not yesterday

Man it was brutal, with plenty tissues

I guess you could say that I had issues

But it's looking good, I dug my way out

I'm changing up what the story's about



When the world stops making sense

Just take in what you can get

When the people on the street

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 staking my claim

Thanks for the invite, no thanks just the same

It's looking good now, full speed ahead

I'll live today, by tomorrow I'm dead



When the world stops making sense

Just take in what you can get

When the people on the street

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



When the world stops making sense

Just take in what you can get

When the people on the street

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
