Been a Drill Lyrics by The Heligoats

The End of All-Purpose

2008

[Verse 1]
Dress it up in the prettiest package
And hold on to my arm
So I don't break through the plastic
Like I did last time, oh no
I've got no self control when it comes to these things
When I intercept airplanes and monitor the babies
Oh, maybe he knows something that we don't
We can soothe our tense nerves
We work hard; we deserve it
Let's paint the town pink
Let's go out for a sink

[Chorus]
And for once, I'm fine inside Benadryl
And she's so fine inside of me
Where every minute is more of a thrill
Than the next lifetime could be

[Verse 2]
And at a young age, fell in love with a mermaid
Who taught me to respect, taught me to behave
The one thing she taught me I'd always regret was
How to completely lose my head
So I grew up fast and I turned into cardboard
The burns that once healed now turned into scars
And it turned out I turned out the way that they warned me
I'd turn out if I never reached for the stars

[Verse 3]
But with so many stars how could I ever choose?
Oh, this was a challenge we were all bound to lose
So instead I'll just reach for the bottoms of shoes
It's all the same energy; we're all being used
But when they pull the plug it's more like a drain
Than electrical surges meant to sustain
We are dead on the surface, alive in our brains
Swimming in circles, forgetting our names

[Chorus]
And for once, I'm fine inside Benadryl
And she's so fine inside of me
Where every minute is more of a thrill
Than the next lifetime could be

[Verse 4]
Someone said sunsets are people who found
How to finally change and escape from the ground
Step outside this life and glow in the next
To rise and shine and eternally set
And so I crossed my legs and turned into a drill
Thinking harder than ever, creating a sill
That tapped into the lava to power my sun
Set in pink colored skies upon everyone

[Chorus]
And it was no dream; it was Benadryl
And she's always been here with me
Where every minute, it haunts me still
And will for a century
