lyrics

I think I like ice cream, Pajama Jack to
They give me headaches, just the way that you do
I scream, you scream, maybe it's a bad dream
Double scoop and I'm so stupid, baby it's all the same

I've got a ticket to outer space
If I should make it, who is taking my place?
Expedite ill-fated flight, time to find me extradited
Here in sight of and in spite of, stinging things you bring, I fight it

Walking on clouds, for the first time I see
The ground dissipating and evading my feet
Forgetting to fall, I'm gravity free
But the weight of the world is not to be lost upon me

I think I like TV, Mary Jane to
They make me stupid, just the way that you do
Channel surfing, re-runs lurking, natural grass, no astro turfing
Coffee's perking into servings, blind refined, a shiny earthling

I've got a rocket there if I choose
But who will walk it back on Earth in my shoes
Size nine, fit fine, got them at the five and dime
I could swing around to town and pick them off the lawn sometime

Hanging on stars, for the first time I see
The ground rising up and smashing into my feet
Forgetting to fly, surprised and naive
In lead lined disguise is Superman going to catch me?

Perhaps I was a little too hasty wasting time on you
In the middle of craziness, too lazy to debate the truth
Every time the sun is out shining I'm resigned to grey
My ice cream's melting away

I'm stuck here in time, too blinded to see
The world open wide, it's swallowing me
Forgetting to run, feet don't fail me now
When all's said and done, gotta make it home somehow

Click my heels and nothing happens, Ice cream
What's a guy to do about now? Ice cream
Sticky fingers, drippy toppings, Ice cream
Turtle up it's time to shut down

Perhaps I was a little too hasty wasting time on you
In the middle of craziness, too lazy to debate the truth
Every time the sun is out shining I'm resigned to grey
My ice cream's melting away

Maybe I have been mistaken, by forsaking you
And a little bit shaken by you breaking off and making new
Any night I might turn the light down, I'm bound to dream
I just want my ice cream

I think I like ice cream, Pajama Jack to
They give me headaches, just the way that you do
I scream, you scream, maybe it's a bad dream
Double scoop and I'm so stupid, baby it's all the same
