lyrics

the only thing you pray to is in a number
so don't try to chide me or ever speak to me of hunger
but i can program a drum
and grow out my thumb
and if i do a good job, i can make a couple people hum
and that's worth some

but the sun is warm to day and I'm glad to be alive, i think it's fine
the sun is warm to day and I'm glad to be alive, most of the time

did I wash my hands when I first came in?
can I pet my cat? I wanna go swimming.
And watch the water wave at me
like an old friend--the best kind of company
am I distant enough to feel so uncrushed
that I might take a walk and hope I see no one?
does that make me someone?

but I'm not in love today and I'm glad to be alive, I think it's fine
I'm not in love today and I'm glad to be alive, most of the time
most of
