lyrics

I want to sing pretty, I want to sing sweet
So I write songs on this toilet while Gerry is asleep
But I'm distracted by the silverfish that weaves between my feet

I want to sing hoarsely as I bound out of bed
So I write songs about the sun while Lois cooks us scrambled eggs
But I'm distracted by the silverfish that's crawling up my leg

I want to sing softly while the night is so still
while the boys play Halo 3 and all take screenshots of each kill
But there's this silverfish that's staked a claim on Gerry's windowsill

Oh, minute issue,
I don't wanna, I don't wanna kill you
But I just bought a brand-new pair of gym shoes
and you might as well be mildew
This one's for you
