[Verse 1] Working with my hands on a keyboard, Nothing’s working, everything’s slow. Loading screens and waiting rooms, I should be training out in the drizzle’s glow. Lemon starts to sizzle, doggie loves to wiggle, Rain spins spirals in the air. Dirty paw prints, crackling jaw mints, Life flies by in a crooked square. [Pre‑Chorus] Boxing in a ring, the squared circle sings, King of sting in a neon haze. Dancing disaster, rolling faster, Beethoven twisting through the maze. [Chorus] Twist and shout, shout takes the stains out, All the stain lifter — that’s all I know. Double A, M, C‑O, Pick up the phone but I can’t call you though. Apex dreams and ghostly teams, Heroes in a half shell breaking through — Duck Tales spin, Rescue Rangers grin, Every rerun leads me back to you. [Verse 2] Sit right there and you’ll hear a tale, A fateful trip on a tiny ship. A musical synopsis in the Twilight Zone, Where sight and sound and mind all slip. I have a mind — do you mind? Don’t mind her, she’s dancing in the rain. Monday Tuesday happy days, Moving on up through the windowpane. [Pre‑Chorus] Knock on our door, take a step that’s new, Kisses hers and hers and his. Lost a dream or maybe two, Found the trail and there you were — like this. [Chorus] Whatever happened to predictability? Milkman, paperboy, evening TV. Here’s the story of a lonely lady, Love and marriage on channel three. Won’t you be my neighbor, New boy downstairs joins the family crew. A man of means, then along come two, Every rerun leads me back to you. [Bridge] Take the good, take the bad, Take them both — the world goes mad. Static screens and theme‑song dreams, Echo through the things we had. From G.I. Joe to gummi bears, Transformers lighting up the night. A real American hero dares, Staying till the fight is won — Holding tight. [Final Chorus] Twist and shout, shout takes the stains out, All the stain lifter — that’s all I know. Double A, M, C‑O, Pick up the phone but I can’t call you though. Sitcom hearts and cartoon sparks, Retro worlds in every hue — Take the good, take the bad, Take them both and there you have… Every rerun leading back to you. [Final Line] this message is about to self-destruct
