up early on elec tion day
I've already voted,
so I'm time -wise okay
And the other boy feels like my head's so
gloomy and gray
My train departs soon,
we meet up at the station
You just came in from Bergen,
how are you, Jens?
Hey, come on I, I, everyone try to guess
what they're voting for
And this is what we speak of
when you know someone likes you
As a friend or a lover or a listener
But you still don't know
why they like you
So you take a guess
based on their appearance
But people are al ways much
more complicated
Than you think,
than you think that they are
A woman comes up,
she says she's so clair voyant
She says thanks for this Friday
I went to your concert
I like you cause I can tell you were a war
rior in a past life
On the train I buy an apple,
it's so huge, it's astounding
And I get so upset, I'm by myself,
can't show no one
I fight an urge to show the
girl sitting next to me
But she looks like a model,
probably doesn't wanna see it
It's amazingly large, this apple,
and I grab it,
but it gets very few likes.
And outside the window
the trees flaunt their shit,
And the fields and the flowers
and the lakes that are glittering.
Behind me, two people in suits,
as climate change is fake news.
And I
take my huge apple
and I shove it down their throats
I say, that's not a top
ic you can argue about
It is what it is, it's not up for debate
Do you really think I would
be stuck on this must train
12 hours today if it was optional
That last part was a lie, I'm a pa cifist
But I enjoyed making that up,
I have to admit
Let's not forget I was a warrior in a
past life
The results are like life
on election day news
No one really won,
and all are confused
It's quiet, but it feels like a bomb
with a really long fuse and I like you cause you talk about
the same things that I do telling stories on TV and being on tour
it makes me feel like I
am an extrovert
and that is nice for a change
And I like me because I always crash,
I wallow and complain
And then I bounce back if a clairvoy
ant came up in a hundred years
I think she would have said to me,
in your past life you were lame
But at least you tried,
no those fumes will choke you
So get inside,
now it's time to sleep
on election day
