It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood!

Spastic! Wake up! Four A.M. and the alarm clock screams Short circuit in my American dreams Walk in the kitchen, slip on the floor Freezer defrosted out the door! Puddle of water! Melting ice! Welcome to paradise! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! (Beautiful day! Beautiful day!) Everything is functioning just as it should! (Just as it should! Just as it should!) Smile on my face, grit in my teeth Watch out for the cracks underneath! A beautiful day! Step outside, put my foot on the lawn Squishy surprise before the dawn! Dog crap on the rubber of my shoe! Clean off the shoe, now I smell like poo! Turn the ignition, but the battery's through! Engine click! Click! Click-click-click! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! (Beautiful day! Beautiful day!) Everything is functioning just as it should! (Just as it should! Just as it should!) Smile on my face, grit in my teeth Watch out for the cracks underneath! A beautiful day! Traffic is stopped! Bumper to bumper! Boss on the phone, he's a table-thumper! "Where are you now?!" "I'm stuck in the grid!" De-evolution! I'm flipping my lid! Breakdown! Breakdown! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! (Beautiful day! Beautiful day!) Everything is functioning just as it should! (Just as it should! Just as it should!) Smile on my face, grit in my teeth Watch out for the cracks underneath! A beautiful day! Beautiful! (Crappy!) Beautiful! (Crappy!) Neighborhood breakdown! System error! Short circuit! Have a beautiful day!
