A re-imagined version of the Gnarwhalz song "Pleasantly Surprised", off "Foggy Gentlemen".
lyrics
What you doing over there?
We all wanna move out west
See the Gunnar in the trees
Get your head straight Ches
And Petey’s gonna be an actor!
Cam’s gonna be a star!
Quit pretending
You ain’t got no squad like this one
But we couldn’t take it far
Second verse in isolation
Lotta time to reminisce
Was the grass really greener
For the time and place you miss?
Well Adam’s gonna have a baby!
Everyday Sean wears a tie
We’ve got duties
We don’t laugh at the word doodie
(But I sure miss the guitar)
When it pours it's raining
Remember my training
(No, I forgot it all)
Don't you worry about the sunshine
I've got curtains, I've got blinds
This morning's coffee tastes
So much less bitter than the last one
It won't be my last one
I've got an addiction
To re-doing perfection
This one deserves reprise
So split this cigarette or ash it in my face
One last chance to prove my ways
These wolves howl when the full moon rises
You don't have to be psychic
To know that I'm in invited
But I can be your sidekick
And I'll be so excited
No pretending:
You can be my squad of just one
(If we split this drag)
Now our homes are coast-to-coast
Spread like berries on some toast
Some are blue, some made of straw
The wolves are howling on the lawn
But that house was made of stone!
And the vines were overgrown
We found shelter in the shade
Now we feel sunshine's rays
And a raise would do us well
We could travel when we feel
In the meantime I'll stay home
This new one wasn't built alone
This house's builder's in my dream
She was paddling the stream
Eating dehydrated foods
Just like all astronauts do
She said I was in her dream
Making movies way out east
(K, getting coffees for the stars)
Without their coffees they won't get too far
