Lull - Andrew Bird

Being alone it can be quite romantic

Like Jacques Cousteau underneath the sea Atlantic

A fantastic voyage to parts unknown

Going to depths where the sun’s never shone

And I fascinate myself when I’m alone

So I go a little overboard but hang on to the hull

While I’m airbrushing fantasy art on a life

That’s really kind of dull

Oh, I’m in a lull

I’m all for moderation but sometimes it seems

Moderation itself can be a kind of extreme

So I joined the congregation

I joined the softball team

I went in for my confirmation

Where incense looks like steam

I start conjugating proverbs

Where once there were nouns

This whole damn rhyme scheme’s starting to get me down

Oh, I’m in a lull

I’m in a lull

Being alone it can be quite romantic

Like Jacques Cousteau underneath the atlantic

A fantastic voyage to parts unknown

Going to depths where the sun’s never shone

And I fascinate myself when I’m alone

I’m rambling on rather self consciously

While I’m stirring these condiments into my tea

And I think I’m so lame

I bet I think this song’s about me

Don’t I don’t I don’t I?

I’m in a lull
