Zero Percent

Our friends on the front porch and they telling the jokes and they

Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times

Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort

And getting distance from that front porch spotlight

But us we found peace in the shadows

Long enough to see the monsters rise

And Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams

Living high on yesterday's lies

And talking to me about some zero percent interest

And how she got a better deal than the next guy oh my God

And the way the lightning shocked us oh when we were lost

Around that long deserted highway

Well our hair was longer then and now I can remember

Say now well I remember oh-so-well

Almost too well now

Oh the roads unencumbered by cats

They're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind

But it's all in my mind

You left your thumbprint inside me now for months it seems

But mine only brushes your soft surface

And somehow somehow it leaves me listless

My tongue curls under my lips oh oh yes

So I can speak to tell you of the months before I met you love

Oh true love

And the way the truth it locked us

Right about the time after the lightning it shocked us

When we were young when we were young and missing

'Round that small New England byway

Our lives they were sheltered then and I can remember

And I remember well so well

It's almost too well

Well it's not even being about that anymore

I gotta get you down

Those tiny fragments of perfection

They please me in a time unchanged

But it's all the same beginning

And it's a long awaited end

If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here

If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture

So I'm told little sister

So now I'm sold little sister

Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden

And the laws of Eden

And how you were the rock of Gibraltar

And how they called you foxy foxy)

Well that's another whole box of Pandora's

That's another whole box of them ties

Slide your foot off the gas before we crash

Right back into the median

Right back into into the median the median

Oh lord it separates

Our house from the middle of the street

Our house

Alright that's your part this time

Here we go say it

Our house Ah that's nice) from the middle of the street

Our house

Aright I'm gonna give it to Toca this time

Oh okay we're doing this still

Uh Damn I got a powerhouse back here

Hey they're not making up for the rest of you

You're gonna uhh okay

K only the sexy people)

Okay only the horny people)

Our house from the middle of the street

Only the sweaty people ahh

You guys aren't sweaty

One more time for the sex-heads)

Our house from the middle of the street

Our house our house

In Spanish)

Mi casa in del medio de la calle

One more time here we go)

Mi casa in del medio de la calle

Oh mi casa mi casa mi casa su casa

Our house

Is on the front porch telling jokes and they

Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times

They expending all those lines and finding more energy for the effort

And getting distance from that front porch spotlight

But us we found the peace in all of the shadows

Oh long enough to see the monster die

Oh long enough to see the monster die

Oh long enough is it long enough

Is it long enough is it long enough for me

Well if it isn't and if it isn't

And if it isn't and if it isn't

If it ain't ain't and if it don't

Well if it can't then it won't

Well if it isn't and if it isn't

And if it isn't and if it isn't

If it ain't ain't and if it don't

Well if it can't then it won't

And that's just way it goes
