lyrics

I like soft porn and salty popcorn
Pablo Picasso and Richard Diebenkorn
Beethoven’s 6th and The Rolling Stones
But I don’t really like today

I like first class hooch and Jamaican weed
Carnal knowledge and silly string
The shade under an old oak tree
But I don’t really like today

You see the news is all bad with no end in sight
But the market's up so I need a flight
To Amsterdam for a red light tour
An STD and a pint of beer
Maybe buy some land in a better tax state
And build our own little estate
Looks like a Munch meets Bosch day
Maybe I’m starting to like it this way
Maybe I really like you

I like really strong coffee, that Turkish shit
Imaginary friends and acid trips
A day of painting in the summer heat
Croquet with you on an English pitch

Don’t really like serial killers
Or those silly mints on my pillow
Don’t really care for the victim class
The mobs, the blobs, holly rolling hacks

I like you in the autumn light
In a sleeping car to a time in Provence
Van Gogh stole the light of day
That changed the way we see today
You know those colors seemed so bold
That thieving bastard broke the mold
Looks like a Munch meets Bosch day
Maybe I’m starting to like it this way
Maybe I really like you

I like all dogs and birds that sing
I like fresh flowers all over things
Even more, painting them any day
But I really don’t like today

Sun drench all over me
I like living under the sea
A total eclipse and those ruby lips
But I don’t really like today

You see the neighbors are quite the bore
Quite the bore seems all the rage
My fresh flowers seen their better days
The Catcher in the Rye’s has had its say
With you along it all fades away
Kind of starting to like this day
All the gloom seems to fade away
Maybe I’m starting to like it this way
Maybe I really like you
