Eels - New Alphabet lyrics

You know what? I'm in a good mood today
Well, I'm so happy it's not yesterday
Man it was brutal with plenty of tissues
I guess you could say that I had issues
Well it's looking good, I dug my way out
I'm changing up what the story's about

When the world stops making sense
Just takin' what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silhouettes
When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet

Small thinking people with their
Small thinking ways
I don't have time to hear what they say
This is my world, I'm staking my claim
Thanks for the invite
No thanks just the same
It's looking good now, full speed ahead
I'll live today, by tomorrow I'm dead

When the world stops making sense
Just takin' what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silhouettes

When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stops making sense
I make a new alphabet

I see everything it's crystal clear
It's here
You know what? I'm in a good mood today
Well, I'm so happy it's not yesterday
Man it was brutal, but it's all in the past
It's good to know that it don't have to last

When the world stops making sense
Just takin' what you can get
When the people on the street
Start looking like silhouettes

When the words just sound like noise
I need a new alphabet
When the world stoṗs making sense
I make a new alphabet

Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh
