darwin deez lyrics:


1. constellations


twinkle, twinkle little star, how i wonder what you are

there's a million little lights when the sky turns black tonight

are there patterns in our skies, are patterns only in our eyes?


or is a constellation just a constellation?

is a constellation just a consolation?


wrinkle, wrinkle little scar, count the freckles on my arm

if freckles don't mean anything, does anything mean anything?


or is a constellation just a constellation?

is a constellation just a consolation?


we are twinkling stars resurrected

just like twinkling stars we seem connected but i know that


a constellation is just a constellation

constellation is just a consolation


2. deep sea divers


you and i are deep sea divers on a task

little bubbles rising from your scuba mask

i can see your empty eyes are not alive, but shouldn't they be?


you and i are sitting on the ocean floor

you were tired of swimming and you're so bored

little yellow fish go past your sullen face, but shouldn't you smile once in a while?


you're bringin me down now i'm blue now i'm in deeper too


little yellow fish are happy it's not so tough

would everything you wish you had be good enough?

we're divers, that's why we're in our suits

they'll fire me and you, they'll hire someone new, besides


you're bringin me down now i'm blue now i'm unhappy too


of all the pretty girls, i had to choose

of all the pretty ones, i wanted you, but now


you're bringin me down now i'm blue now i'm unhappy too


3. the city


this town is made of aluminum

this town is made of glass


why can't you see that?

why can't you understand and come to the city?


press one with my thumb for my messages

but you only leave me rocks


why can you call back?  i tried you twenty times i'm sick of the city


everything's harder here

everyone's so cold

the city is not so inviting when you have no one to hold

there's no one to hold


the city is a stop sign


4. dna


my dna is running out i am not the guy who makes you smile now
and when we talk it's not the same but i already lost the gene for feeling pain

so i won't cry i will just pretend i'm still the one and that we are in love again

but when i call you are never home and i am down to six or seven chromosomes
but you don't care or understand how it feels to be a single double strand

(chorus)

all these molecules don't make me who i am, you did

i'm still the one

(chorus)
(chorus)


5. the suicide song


from the window ledge i fall, watch my necktie whip back in the wind.

from the top of an office building, i can' t even see why i should live.


'don't give up,' they all say. but i'm not giving up anything anyway.


on the way down, i see your face laughing at one of my idiot boy mistakes.


well you can laugh now, 'cause it's over.  have one last laugh watching me go to waste.


'cause i don't need a reason why, does anyone?


6. lights on


i quit drinking a while ago

she keeps telling me the lights are still on

i quit drinking like a while ago now

she keeps asking if the lights are still on


ooh, i cannot help me eyes


7.  up in the clouds


we used to walk up in the sky, up where the air is rarified

went hand in hand from cloud to cloud, but when i slipped up we fell out


and i'm sorry i let you down

down to the ground

but who cares now?


we could be up in the clouds


dizzy from lack of oxygen or from the mood you put me in...?

up in the cloudy stratosphere, gravity's weaker when you're near


(pre chorus)

(chorus)


  1. 8.bed space


i’m in outer space on my side of the bed
on a floating mattress my eyes stare ahead
you don’t sleep here anymore

hovering alarm clock is my satellite
under little specks of starlight, on a flight
you don’t sleep here anymore

(chorus)

i don’t know where i am
i am so lost
i’m just drifting around
since you’ve been gone
i’m just wasting time away
i’m just wasting time in space

see a little asteroid pass by underneath
there’s an empty space on your side and i can’t sleep

(chorus)

i pull my covers over my head
hope you know i wish i were dead
i can’t seem to get out of bed
going nowhere; everything is wrong

(chorus)
(chorus)


9. the bomb song


the sky's green

it's been that way since they dropped the bomb

the clouds are brown

the city's a ghost town

the city is dead

the river's a bed now

the hair on my head came out, it fell on the ground

none of the sunlight is safe

litter is blowing all around the sidewalk


say you love me now

maybe you will say you love me now

say you love me please say it now that


the sky's green

it's been that way since we lost the war

we looted the store we had to eat something

people are sick

the water is strychnine

i heard about sixty nine hundred people have died

the shelter is hell, it smells like shit

nobody knows how long we're supposed to stay in it


(chorus)


the sky's green


(chorus)


10. radar detector


you and i buy star maps and drive my car around los angeles

you and i buy star maps and ding dong ditch a televangelist


it's only been a week

but i know that you are mine to keep


you are a radar detector

i drive 1,000 miles an hour

i won't go on and on

but you are always looking out for me


you and i go shopping and find exactly what we're looking for

you and i go shopping and fall asleep inside the mattress store.


we cruise the neighborhood

but it's not supposed to feel this good


(chorus)


you are a radar detector


(chorus)


when i'm driving around, you are a radar detector


11. bad day


i hope that the last the page of your 800 page novel is missing
and i hope that it rains if you leave the window down on your red mustang

'cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you

and if you drop your keys i hope there's a sewer somewhere very nearby
i hope that your team lost; i hope your new girl takes off with a new guy.

(old version: and if you're out of clean sheets i hope your new girl takes off and it's clear why)

'cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you

and i would like to be your girlfriend so i could dump you
and i would like to be your garbage man so i would never have to pick up your trash again

maybe you should wonder why your apartment is always so empty
well i hope you get locked out of that apartment and have to call jenny

'cause everyday ought to be a bad day for you

but i'm sorry if it ever is
