Lyrics
The Cancer almost killed me and I wasn’t even there
It was the kind of night I cant forget, Send it off into the air
The fishing’s good but they just aren’t biting, Im Getting tired of these alien sightings
just another mouth to feed, and I’m getting tired of fighting.
Lets take the long way home, Down by the water tower
My feet aren’t even tired, Here’s me getting sad during happy hour
Elevation Sickness, it so real to feel alone, And as we send you out in this evil world
Don’t be afraid to come back home
Oh Im itching for a fight, But I keep on flinching
My tie looks good but the collar pinching
Sad during happy hour
It was the kind of night I cant forget, Send it off into the air
The fishing’s good but they just aren’t biting, Im Getting tired of these alien sightings
just another mouth to feed, and I’m getting tired of fighting.
Lets take the long way home, Down by the water tower
My feet aren’t even tired, Here’s me getting sad during happy hour
Elevation Sickness, it so real to feel alone, And as we send you out in this evil world
Don’t be afraid to come back home
Oh Im itching for a fight, But I keep on flinching
My tie looks good but the collar pinching
Sad during happy hour

Comments:
The final line is so good! I think the lyrics tell such an interesting story but I don’t know how they’d work with a melody. Perhaps they’re more of a poem.
