Rubber Bands

All stretched out like rubber bands

We didn't understand how flexible you have to be

We spin around like the blades on a fan boat

Everglade candles burning for eternity

It might be in the way you say hello

We practice self control

Even when we just wanna let it go

It's getting harder to be conscious of

The tight skin in my glove

Fits tighter every day around my hand

Don't grow up like Peter Pan in Never Never Land

There's always something that you didn't plan

End up corrupt like a wicked man

If you would lick the pan

You should be ready for the consequence

We're all stretched like rubber bands

We didn't understand how very flexible you have to be

We spin around like the blades on a fan boat

Everglade candles burning for eternity

And when the moon gets bigger in the night sky

Use telescopes to figure out the reason why

We feel alone in the universe

We phone home but we hear no words

Coming through the receiver

There's not enough leavers

Plenty takers, non-believers

But it's a lot more bearable

Yes it's a lot more bearable

All stretched out like rubber bands

We didn't understand how flexible you have to be

We spin around like the blades on a fan boat

Everglade candles burning for eternity

It might be in the way you say hello

We practice self control

Even when we just wanna let it go

It's getting harder to be conscious of

The tight skin in my glove

Fits tighter every day around my hand
