Darling, the band is going to Japan and you’re invited
I found your missing pearl ring
and our land lord decided
he’s not gunna raise our rent and we’re on a month to month
You got a fat birthday check from your grandma out East
I had a brief sigh with a Great White tangled up in my leash
why? I don’t know
But we went our separate ways citing creative differences
Darling you look like a Sugar Ray song
shining hair wet with reverb and a reason to live
I once promised you I’d finally write a happy song
Well here it is…
“Things are Going Too Good”
and it makes me uncomfortable
things are going too good
Feels like the Big One must be right around the corner
or a terminal illness being served over the counter
or my darkest secret will emerge
or a fat asteroid will hit Earth
things are going too good…
Of course there’s a plethora of thoughts
that I keep to myself because I don’t want to rock the boat
But so what? So what?
Ours was a bond so strong, chemists wonder how it breaks
and ours was a bath so well drawn, old men wonder how it feels to sit in it
and ours was the best part of a cult classic avant garde
in a montage driving with our windows down
singing that chickadee china the chinese chicken song
Who cares if we’re broke and don’t have sex and getting chubby?
We wake up to a view of Anacapa every morning
So what?
Darling our driveway is better than Hawaii
I think our group of friends is bound for history books
and when we get home I will love you with all my five senses
things are going too good
and it makes me uncomfortable
things are going too good
Feels like the Big One must be right around the corner
or a terminal illness being served over the counter
or my darkest secret will emerge
or a nuclear war,
shit.
things are going too good…
