Bell X1 - A Thousand Little Downers lyrics

The radio says we gotta pay up by tonight
The radio says we gotta pay up by tonight

It's a constant dribble, a weeping sore
Death by a thousand little downers
I hear them all spilling out on the floor
Death by a thousand little downers

The operator says our call is important
Yeah, the operator says
Our call is important
Well they'll find me swinging
From the menu tree
Death by a thousand little downers
And then I'll go play with
The ghosts in the machine
Death by a thousand little downers

The co-sleeper says
May cause death or injury
The disclaimer says
May cause death or injury

Thanks for letting us know of the danger
A thousand little downers
But why bring the fear
To the simple pleasures?
A thousand little downers

When you're poorly
I'll bring you flowers and grapes
Flowers and grapes when you're poorly
I'd eat them myself
Just one more little downer

The vacant lot says
Excellent retail opportunity
The vacant lot says
Excellent retail opportunity
But, I can't help thinking
Of those broken dreams
Death by a thousand little downers
Her hand on his shoulder as
He stares at the screen
Death by a thousand little downers

I'll show you mine if you show me yours
I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I'll show you mine if you show me yours
I'll show you mine if you show me yours

I'll show you mine
