lyrics

I was 17 years of age when I smoked my first cigarette
I didn't feel a thing like Marlon Brando or James Dean
Or what's his name from La Dolce Vita
I felt like an asshole coughing up a lung till I started up another one

My life is filled with these moments that I can't shake
Are people lookin' at me like I'm an imposter?
Can they sense me, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
I wanna see what they see but I can't fall asleep I can't fall asleep I can't sleep

I wanna stare into the sun
I wanna be dumb like everyone

Now I'm spending all my money on alcohol and coffee
And sittin' on my ass watchin' reruns of I Love Lucy
And all my friends, they're all functioning alcoholics
I wanna see what they see but I can't fall asleep I can't fall asleep I can't sleep

I wanna stare into the sun
I wanna be dumb like everyone
