"Thing I Won't Get" Songtekst

a Pulitzer prize
a Oscar or two
are things I won't get
things I won't get

a Bentley or Benz
well don't hold your breath
of things I won't get
things I won't get

a fares with a star
who offers me dough
far in advance
far in advance

a college degree
a job with some hope
there's just no chance
there's just no chance

but when I see you lying by my side looking extra clean
I'm in a state where I I don't mind my thought turn obscene

string theory ??? and such
are things I won't get
things a won't get

Schoenberg and twelve-tone
and films out of french
are things a won't get
things a won't get

a chair that's designed by Charles and Ray Eames
are things a won't get
things a won't get

but when i see you lying by my side I understand you well
I'm in a state where I I don't mind I guess it's just as well

the world is so hard
the people so mean
of things I don't get
things I don't get

we sit on the floor
and talk about dreams
of things we won't get
things we won't get

but when I see you lying by my side looking extra keen
I'm in a state where I I don't mind just you and me and caffeine
