I've been saving up karma
in a jar
And I just want to know how far I can get
On what I've got

(so it goes)

I used to live in a world of ideals
Which I twisted to suit my animal interior
I invited some friends to join me
But they unravelled me instead
In ways I couldn't see


I used to to think "Shit happens, not much we can do,
just hope hope hope it don't happen to you"
Well I hit the ground screaming like a sellout love song
(Or did I?)

Singing:
Maybe I should try not to be wrong


As the lazy sun crept round the dish oh so slowly
I gave in

I've been saving up karma
in a jar
And I just want to know how far I can get
On what I've got

don't know where I met you, girl
can you tell me your name?


I got up my nerves
And tried to break the curse
Don't know if it's better
But I'm sure it's not worse
Don't want her back so bad
(But I miss miss miss that feeling)


That's about as likely
As all the air in a room deciding at once to go over to the other side
and not letting you breath

(Believe me, it's possible- just not probable)

My back to the future
I hear things working
If gods place dice, girl
Let 'em roll (and oh, do they)

You gotta eat drink smoke chew swallow
"Have a good shit today, baby?"


So then I hear that song again
And it's you and me dancing in the middle of everyone
Not together, but not alone
Maybe I just missed my chance
But only maybe

Is my jar full yet?
I can't tell
If it wasn't before, that's just as well
Because after tonight, it had better be overflowing
