I bought enough TV dinners That I can get one free I'll get more than that with the copy machine At the library Drinking O'Doul's every single night That isn't a sin I'm gonna buy a few thousand packs of Camels And never breathe in I found a loophole I'm never gonna tell you how I found a loophole One of these days I'm gonna get high And watch Last Year At Marienbad In between the frame I will find the path To the one true god I will cash fake checks and store the money In a safety deposit box I will cross-reference all my contacts And wait by the docks I found a loophole I'm never gonna tell you how I found a loophole I don't need any thanks I am far, far too humble I've got a plan to get us out of this jam Five bucks a ticket to the robot rumble Whenever the zombies decide to attack I'll be outside with a shotgun I have detailed city planning maps All you'll have to do is run I get kind of moody by twilight No matter the place And I know just how to fix it, he says With a straight face I found a loophole I'm never gonna tell you why I find these loopholes

Rulli 02:44
Mom works in a big house Long stairs leading up I can't climb them on my own Who-o-o-o-o-oa Dad stays at home a lot He's a poet and he knows it And I'm sure we've got a shot Who-o-o-o-o-oa Larkspur Or whatever it's called Seems like a pretty nice place But do people live here? There are all these big tall trees And call me crazy But I don't think I could live in a tree For very long I hop in his Saturn, like the car Not like a Dreamcast And we cross into the trees Who-o-o-o-o-oa And we meet at Rulli's I get a pastry or two And I smile for both of you I get a bottle of the fizzy drink That tastes like orange Not like Sunkist But the orange taste like adults would like And I feel so free There's no way to see through me And I'm even smiling When Mom finally leaves I can't climb those stairs on my own On my own

I have my clearly defined Walls of protection And they shrink every hour I spend in this procession They are herding us like cattle They are grooming us to be Every single goddamned thing That doesn't work for me So I fall And I want you to fall with me Surely this uprising will Set me free And I know you never meant To hurt me But the worst pain comes from people who are Ready to desert me The light shines through the window On the pink walls inside And it makes a sickly glow Like I crawled in here and died I'll slink out to a grassy place My eyes fixed on a tiny mushroom I'll be gone in fifteen If I say I vomited in the bathroom So I lie And I want you to lie with me Surely this escape Will set me free And I know you never meant To hurt me But the worst pain comes from people who are Ready to desert me
