lyrics

i am doing just fine i feel
inadequate 98% of the time
this mind is not mine
and in the catalog of people
i would not have chosen me to be

but i am made up of parts
and they bend just like a doll
i have my got my own shoebox
to live in with a kitchen and buddy
i am fine, i have neighbors i don’t speak to
bendable neighbors they are just like me
they have problems I can hear it
through the cardboard walls
so their problems are my problems
but I’m not sure that i’m familiar enough to ask
if they need a hug
i think most of us would like a hug

welcome to the model
of what we thought life would be
but we couldn’t afford the tea sets
from the catalog
we drink coffee from our palms
it’s working out just fine

welcome to the bottle
you can live inside just like a ship
but you don’t get the relief of sinking to the bottom
i live on a boat in a bottle
the accomplishment was getting it inside
and leaving’s not an option
so we sit out on the deck
and we breathe through the air holes
buddy
my breathing is a shipwreck

welcome to the water
you’ve got a nice place to drown
when things go down
at least you climbed out
of the catalog
in the model home
with the tea set
and the shipwreck
and you’re doin just fine
