yogurt Songtext
von omlet

Those school fundraisers were a scam
Buy a plastic monkey dressed as an astronaut
It′s all part of their plan
To get more money to buy more monkeys
Stick your neck out in the wind
Watch the buildings stand still
While you zoom past
Observe a clump of black ghosts
They're just umbrellas, you spooked yourself
(They′re just umbrellas, you spooked yourself)

Am I seeing straight?
Can I count the fingers in front of my face?
Are you really bad?
Or do the bells in my head ring out falsely and flat?


Send me off to a yoga retreat
I'll eat yogurt
And frolic in my bare feet
Running 'cross the grass like a puppy dog
Chasing after a bone that looks fun to gnaw
Or leave me be to my worries
This is a gash
Not a meekly scraped knee
My head is screamin′ just like a fire alarm
But you say to me that there′s nothing wrong

I'm crying in a white car
But it′s not the same car I rode last year
Why has everything changed?
Can't I please just go back to preschool?
Back then, I wasn′t so scared
Of asphalt runways or bumpy buildings
But no one really liked me
I guess I'll never change that part

My shoebox diorama looks safe from here
I′ll tuck myself in under the dolphin
Whoever tugged on the string isn't welcome here
Makes me nervous it'll happen again
(What if it does happen again?)


Send me off to a yoga retreat
I′ll eat yogurt
And frolic in my bare feet
Running ′cross the grass like a puppy dog
Chasing after a bone that looks fun to gnaw
Or leave me be to my worries
This is a gash
Not a meekly scraped knee
My head is screamin' just like a fire alarm
But you say to me that there′s nothing wrong
