Lyrics

It's bills, and bills, and bills
It's not what I will
It's not what I won't
It's just that I don't
And won't and don't
Until I'm atoned

The letters slip under the door
The phone is stuffed in a drawer
The notices taped to the door
My email is stuffed even more

They call, and call, and call
I ignore them all
I know it's a stall
They make me feel small
I'm just not their thrall
And don't care at all

The letters slip under the door
The phone is stuffed in a drawer
The notices taped to the door
My email is stuffed even more

They knock and knock and knock
I hide in the hall
Pressed flat on the wall
I'm holding my breath
I feel like Macbeth
They're advancing on me
I feel I must flee

The letters slip under the door
The phone is stuffed in a drawer
The notices taped to the door
My email is stuffed even more

A tent, I now live in a tent
But I don't pay rent
My food's mostly free
But I'm covered in fleas
But the sky is my dome
The sun is my friend
My phone doesn't moan
Bills came to an End

The letters slip under the door
The phone is stuffed in a drawer
The notices taped to the door
My email is stuffed even more
But I couldn't take any more
So, I slipped out the backdoor

And I decided to soar

I decided to soar
