Ennui
from The Functionals by The Functionals
lyrics
I was kneeling on the bathroom floor to void
The remnants of the eve's exploits
I think that Murtaugh had it right
When you rock the boat
You gotta swim to shore
In soiled clothes from the night before
You pluck a hair, the dog's gonna bite
Ennui
It's harder now than it ever was
To stop the game after the buzz
I'm tired of playing wild cards
When I flip the switch and scratch the itch
I pray to stay out of the ditch
The oldest habits die so hard
You know the tap is always on
The whiskey always goes down smooth
But then the morning comes again
It's like the needle's lost the groove
Ennui
Hold it steady boys, I'm stumbling off the stage
Tonight is just another night, no time to turn the page
I can't stand behind this art that I create
But they won't catch the slur if I don't enunciate
The remnants of the eve's exploits
I think that Murtaugh had it right
When you rock the boat
You gotta swim to shore
In soiled clothes from the night before
You pluck a hair, the dog's gonna bite
Ennui
It's harder now than it ever was
To stop the game after the buzz
I'm tired of playing wild cards
When I flip the switch and scratch the itch
I pray to stay out of the ditch
The oldest habits die so hard
You know the tap is always on
The whiskey always goes down smooth
But then the morning comes again
It's like the needle's lost the groove
Ennui
Hold it steady boys, I'm stumbling off the stage
Tonight is just another night, no time to turn the page
I can't stand behind this art that I create
But they won't catch the slur if I don't enunciate
