lyrics

Soup

I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind

Lo and behold, I am worth dissolving in the afternoon
So, unbeknown to the earth, I dig a hole on Wednesday
Sky made up of what I’m told and everything I’ve ever known
Speak now or forever hold on to my now and then day

I’m in a soup but I don’t feel inclined
To shatter illusions that play on my mind
I’m in a soup and the world’s not a friend
It’s time to reboot, better turn off and turn on again

Breeze whispering in my ear how I could be a better man
Please just let me disappear into my hole called Wednesday
Clouds made mist of everything and nothing I have ever known
Now call this from here on in, my time to make amends day

I’m in a soup but I don’t feel inclined
To shatter illusions that play on my mind
I’m in a soup and the world’s not a friend
It’s time to reboot, better turn off and turn on again

I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind
I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind

I’m in a soup but I don’t feel inclined
To shatter illusions that play on my mind
I’m in a soup and the world’s not a friend
It’s time to reboot, better turn off and turn on again

I’m in a soup but I don’t feel inclined
To shatter illusions that play on my mind
I’m in a soup and the world’s not a friend
Time to reboot, better turn off and turn on again

I’m in a soup and it plays on my mind!!!
