(i) know you want to go to bed, it's getting late
(the) moonlight, oh it's shining, & the planes they ain't flying
(i) know you need to rest your head, just lay right here
(the) sunlight, oh it's faded, & your spirit, it's jaded

.. (i) know that the stars are shinning
(but that dont) mean you need to shimmer bright
(you'll) wake to see the sun . (as its) rising
(i) know you're gonna feel alright

(i) know the tricks the teachers play, with heads so young
(the) colors, oh they fading, & the cars, well, they ain't running
(i) know the world is bleak, im blunt on that one thing
(the) letters, ain't no meaning, and the clocks they are a-ticking

.. (i) know that the stars are shinning
(but that dont) mean you need to shimmer bright
(you'll) wake to see the sun . (as its) rising
(i) know you're gonna feel alright

[solo]

.. (i) know that the stars are shinning
(but that dont) mean you need to shimmer bright
(you'll) wake to see the sun . (as its) rising
(i) know you're gonna feel alright

i know there's nothing much to do, just wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, just wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, just wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, just wait it out

..., (well) what are we still waiting for?
(i) sat around for decades now and this is where i am
..., (lets) leave our brains in toxic waste
(and) pass out at the laundramat, and ask them what they think of that

..., (well) i just wanna see the world
(i) walked michigan avenue, but there's nothing to see in something new
..., (lets) talk some existential shit
(and) blame it on the apple sauce, and he who overcooked the brats

i know there's nothing much to do, but i cant wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, but i cant wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, but i cant wait it out
i know there's nothing much to do, but i cant wait it out
