lloyd - telethon lyrics

[intro]
everything is perfect
what more can we do?
the chlorinated water jumps in rhythm with the zoom
handshakes by worker bees
utilities all free
everything is perfect, or it seems perfect to me

[verse 1]
from a speaker, slanting downward toward the glade
ambient enchanting new age singles play
shrug their reputation, proud to lift the weight
from the delts of duty*bound, fresh, rectangle*shaped

[pre*chorus]
and bright, important guys
they all blend in, why couldn’t i?
all in, the game begins
wе coalesce, sleeping dog lies

[chorus]
thе man downstairs said
“everything looks so great sometimes.”
the man downstairs said
“everything new’s gotta break sometime.”
[verse 2]
somewhere deep inside the server room i slept
‘midst the pile of ribbon wire and tangled ethernet
a gust of wind comes from the door, it’s just the nightly check
unmapped, he don’t detect the nested jittering egret

[pre*chorus]
swap ports when blinking lights
go red or orange or off entirely
a service i provide all through the night
by dawn, we ride

[chorus]
the man downstairs said
“everything gets so strange sometimes.”
the man downstairs said
“suddenly, see an uptick in uptime.”

[verse 3]
caught him with that head*scratch look
got him with that binder, shook
guests are satisfied
how could this be right?

[refrain]
everyone’s got something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do
something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do
something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do
something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do
[verse 4]
lanyard ’round my neck
nametag to my chest
when not recognized, chuckle
“probably for the best. hey! nice presentaysh!
enraptured the whole place
the part ’bout the journey, not the destination
that resonated, just gotta say
you may never know how much that resonates
i’ll take it to my team, yeah, back to my team
please do not ask me too much about my team.”

[refrain]
i’m acting like i’ve something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do
something to lose
something to prove
something to get around and do

[verse 5]
falling back in line
over where the sun don’t ever shine
ever shine, ever shine
all the people stop and stare
and share the best ideas and it goes fine
it goes fine, it goes fine
is it mine?
[verse 6]
ballrooms to the left
elevators to the right
these rent*a*cops’ll taser ’til ya shrivel up tight
lobby to my north
an exit to my south
these rent*a*cops’ll kick the t**th right out of your mouth

[verse 7]
everything was perfect, what more can we say?
once you put me on a pedestal, put me in the grave
every other step ’til my solo on the roof
got my second to reflect, i’m a mile ahead of you
natural selection, a mile ahead of you
top of the pyramid’s my runway
folks, i bid you adieu

[instrumental outro]
