[PRECHORUS]
I got a brain like a clown car
ideas piled up to the ceiling
but if everything’s funny
who is driving the feeling?

[CHORUS]
so I spin, spin, spin in a rainbow lane
juggling joy and existential pain
yeah I trip on the punchlines, land on my feet
turn my stage fright into a backbeat
if the world is absurd, I will laugh out loud
cry on the offbeat, sing to the crowd
I am a mess in a glitter crown
making peace with the up and down

[VERSE 2]
sent an email to my future self
subject line: “hey, are we okay?”
he replied in a key change
said, “you survived every weird old day”
all the heavy thoughts in leather jackets
trying to start a mosh pit in my head
I give them tiny saxophones
and make them play smooth jazz instead

[PRECHORUS]
I got a heart like a funhouse
mirrors bending every story
but if I look long enough
I still see me in the distory

[BRIDGE]
cue the brass hit, cue the lounge swing
watch my worries do a costume change
one minute they are heavy metal thunder
next minute they are just… strange
and if the beat falls out from under me
and all my clever lines fall through
I will still have this off-key choir
of every honest piece of truth

[FINAL CHORUS]
so I spin, spin, spin in a rainbow lane
juggling joy and existential pain
yeah I trip on the punchlines, land on my feet
turn my stage fright into a backbeat
if the joke runs out and the lights go down
I'll whistle that melody I found
I am a mess in a glitter crown
but I am here, and I am sound

[VERSE 1] woke up in a prog rock morning coffee in eleven-eight time to-do list doing parkour swinging off the edge of my mind every little task in a sequin jacket tapping on my skull like “pick me, pick me” I put on my best fake circus smile and invite them all to ride with me [PRECHORUS] I got a brain like a clown car ideas piled up to the ceiling but if everything’s funny who is driving the feeling?
