Lie still, little bottle
And shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me
I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom
Is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
There's no time for metaphors
Cried the little pill to me
He said, "Life is a placebo
Masquerading as a simile"
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked, I had to sing this twice
Lie still, little bottle
Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate
My ever-troubled mind
Lie still, little bottle
And shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me
I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom
Is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still
And shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me
I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom
Is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
There's no time for metaphors
Cried the little pill to me
He said, "Life is a placebo
Masquerading as a simile"
Well, I knew that pill was lying
Too gregarious, too nice
But as he walked, I had to sing this twice
Lie still, little bottle
Don't twist, it ain't twistin' time
With every move you make you just disintegrate
My ever-troubled mind
Lie still, little bottle
And shake my shaky hand
Black coffee's not enough for me
I need a better friend
One pill at the bottom
Is singing my favorite song
I know I must investigate
I hope that I can sing along
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still, little bottle
Lie still
Lie still
Lie still
