ODE TO THE GOODEST BOY Lyrics

If you've never felt the joys

Of having a good boy standing by your side, well…

You're missing out

Yeah, you're missing out

It's like swallowing the god-damn sun

And when he dreams, I'll bet he thinks of me

T.G.B. on tour with us

Now that's what I call a band mascot

Sound-checking in the milky way...

Make sure to feed him every day

If you think he's gonna run away

It doesn't matter, cause he'll be okay

He's the best that we could ask for

There aren't many things that make us smile anymore

Yeah, we've got a lot to grieve about

And I get scared every time I remember

He'll die too soon

Everyone you love will die too soon

From 9-to-5, he sits all alone

Like a submissive adult trapped in a shitty day-job

He guards the ship when we're not home

Sniffing around. Chewing on bones

It's time to go, he's the GPS

Push a button on his collar and put him to the test

He knows not the weight of reality

Happy to be here standing next to me

Sound-checking in the milky way...

Make sure to feed him every day

If you think he's gonna run away

It doesn't matter, cause he'll be okay

He's the best that we could ask for

There aren't many things that make us smile anymore

Yeah, we've got a lot to grieve about

And I get scared every time I remember

He'll die too soon

Everyone you love will die too soon

Does he even know that I got a tattoo of him?

Does he even know what a tattoo is?
