The tale I'm gonna tell Is about the group who couldn't say Together they discovered with each other the perfections of an outdoor day
They had won some kinda prize For selling way more stuff than the other guys They were the shrewdest unit-movers So their bosses got 'em tours of the countryside
Doo doo doo
Holly saw a certain bird But she couldn't work up any words She kinda lost her shoes and lost her mind And smashed her phone upon a fallen pine
Darryl couldn't talk at all He wondered how the trees had grown to be so tall He calculated all the height and width and density For insurance purposes
And at the desktop there's crying sounds For all the projects due And no one else is around And the sprinklers that come on at 3am Sound like crowds of people asking "Are you happy what you're doing?"
Ah ah ah
And at the desktop there's crying sounds For all the projects due And no one else is around And the sprinklers that come on at 3am Sound like crowds of people asking "Are you happy what you're doing?"
Becky wondered why She'd never noticed dragonflies Her drag and click had never yielded Anything as perfect as a dragonfly
And then the supervisor stood Right in the creek and it felt really good And that's about the time he finally realised the importance of this day And that's about the time he realised
That he was with the group who couldn't say Hey hey And they felt so good it hurt, Forget the words They were the group who couldn't say
And at the desktop there's crying sounds For all the projects due And no one else is around And the sprinklers that come on at 3am Sound like crowds of people asking "Are you happy what you're doing?"
The talk, it got so loud The songs cut out Well, that's when I'd had enough Of all their talk n' stuff I had to bring it down To more level ground Where my only company Is wind blowin' through the leaves
My head they tried to wreck But I just laughed and said: Guess who lost the go in the go-for-it
When they expected that They instead got this, A broken but pretty mess And what they cared I could care less My farewell e-mail reads: Farewell to thee I'll pass through your world with ease Like wind blowin' through the leaves
My head they tried to wreck But I just laughed and said: Guess who lost the go in the go-for-it
Despite the faxes sent I shook my head and went, Guess who lost the go in the go-for-it
The go in the go-for-it Guess who lost the go in the go-for-it...
で、この曲です。3rdアルバム"Sumday"収録、このアルバムの曲もだいたいは悲惨です。もっとも端的に悲惨さを表しているのは"OK With My Decay"です。「僕は大丈夫、大丈夫........本当は、本当は弱ってきてるんだ、でもどうしようもないんだ、何も言えない、何も話せない...」ああ...書いてて悲しくなってきた。
