Tater Tots Lyrics

The tv in the dmv is

fuzzy and confusing

A bride laughs about jewelry

A man talks about roofing

There's fussing and there's wallowing

Hints of methamphetamine

Glances that say a lot

Chances of a melting pot

Children and ghosts

Filter through the door

Elbow acquaintances

Half-assed decor

A woman cries in Spanish

As a line begins to form

Maximum occupancy

The room is getting warm

The counter is inching closer to my number keep composure

My stomach is tied in knots

From a lunch of only tater tots

Cancer in our bodies

Just waiting for it's chance to say

Not much time for recess kid

Hurry now it's judgement day

Put me on my knees

Put me high up in the trees

Forgive me when I'm petty

Warm me when it's 3 degrees

Sing to me when I'm in the shower

Grappling with my own existence

Thinking of my awkward times

Choosing paths of least resistance

But what if I had been myself

When I came out of someone else

What if I was taught to live

And not to prepare for hell

The counter is inching closer to my number keep composure

My psyche is tied in knots

From off-brand microwaved thoughts

This song means nothing

Think of all the places this song could play

Like when the oven timer goes off

Or when you tell your parents you're gay

It could play as you take a hit

It could play as you throw a fit

It could play as you shave your head

It's playing now as you go to bed

This song means nothing

And being alive is silly

This song means nothing

And being alive is silly
