I get up early in the morning I get the coffee made right away Mmm I am a wreck without a warning I have a thought I cannot convey I got a mean case of the paces... And I have times whereupon I can be so withdrawn And when I go, I am gone, and I barely hang on Over my head the clouds are forming The blue skies begin to turn to gray Mmm Look out the window, and it's storming I been holed-up here most of the day I got a mean case of the paces... And I have times whereupon I can be so withdrawn And when I go, I am gone, and I barely hang on But there must be something wrong, this is taking too long It's day, then night, and now it's back to dawn; I walked a marathon I got a mean case of the paces...

The world you think you know is gone; but don't let that get you down There is much to reclaim Now, you can feel something in the air; there's an unfamiliar sound But everything looks the same And you sit down to eat your corned-beef and hash After taking out the trash And all you know is the hipster wears a mustache The world you thought you knew is gone; you can see we went too far And this is how it has to be Now, you're getting back to the basics, enjoying things as they are Oh, you never felt so free And you don't feel like you need to be so brash It's better not to make a splash And all you know is the hipster wears a mustache Oh, the hipster wears a mustache... Take it slow, don't do anything rash And put away some cash 'Cause all you know is the hipster wears a mustache The world that you once knew is gone; it was never meant to last But no one told you so And you don't know what you don't know; you don't know what you don't know No, you don't know what you don't know, no you don't; you don't know what you don't know And you turned away before you heard the crash You didn't even bat an eyelash And all you know is the hipster wears a mustache Oh, the hipster wears a mustache... And all those years went by in a flash From the kindle down to the ash And all you know is the hipster wears a mustache

How I Know 04:23
All this while, I've been flipping through the dial Mile after mile, going out of style And does no good to think of where I've been I'm in the woods looking up through the limbs And I'm running out of cunning, and I'm gunning for a shunning And what was once so stunning has lost it's underpin Chorus And it's how I know it was so long ago It's how I know it was so long ago I keep associations in several separate stacks I lack motivation to roll with the pack But I'm going through the motions, floating in an ocean And, oh, what a notion to think I'll make it back (Chorus) The good old days, oh, they faded fast And of these castaways, I believe I am the last But I never can remember November from December Forget about September, it's a thing of the past (Chorus) They say it won't be the way it was back then I pretend I don't see I'm but one of many men And I'm waiting and waiting and waiting waiting, oh, it's so frustrating But I won't be hesitating if I get the chance again (Chorus) (Chorus) It's how I know it was so long ago

Chorus I won't be long here I don't belong here I won't be long here I don't belong here I shared a bed with a bitch I split my head on a hitch I skipped instead with a stitch I should be dead in a ditch (Chorus) (Chorus) (Verse) (Chorus) (Chorus)

She said her favorite flavor Is blackberry kush A spender and a saver She doesn't beat around the bush And she could have made any other move And I never would have fallen out of the groove I was one up, then a ton up, and done up just to please And it all happened with such ease I asked her for a favor I didn't want to push I knew she wouldn't waiver Ooh, that blackberry kush And she could have made any other mark And I never would have fallen into the dark I was hung up, and wrung up, and strung up at the knees And it all happened with such ease And I was too stern to race; I didn't learn to pace Now, I churn, and chase you around If you wanna earn the case, you better turn your face 'Cause I'm gonna burn this place to the ground I was too stern to race; I didn't learn to pace Now, I churn, and chase you around If you wanna earn the case, you better turn your face 'Cause I'm gonna burn this place to the ground I'm gonna burn this place to the ground... She said her favorite flavor Is blackberry kush

Lady Bella 04:12
Lady Bella, how ya feeling today? I wish I could tell ya everything's okay I got nothing to sell ya, so don't walk away Oh, Lady Bella, what do ya have to say? The look in your eyes says it all We both recognize we're running into a wall You begin to rise, and sit up tall Just as I'm about to fall Lady Bella, your love is tried and true I'm a complex fella; I'm no good for you I sing a cappella, when nothing else gets through Oh, Lady Bella, what do ya want to do? The look in your eyes says it all We both recognize we're running into a wall You begin to rise, and sit up tall Just as I'm about to fall The look in your eyes says it all We both recognize we're running into a wall You begin to rise, and sit up tall Just as I'm about to fall Lady Bella Oh, Lady Bella I'm a complex fella Oh, Lady Bella

Keep 06:51
What we have right here, we cannot dismiss There ain't nobody ever seen nothing like this So, now we sit waiting for life to reconvene Wondering what it'll all mean post-quarantine But let me tell you When this is over, you can continue to keep your social distance from me Oh, you can continue to keep your social distance from me 'Cause we weren't talking, anyway And through all of this, there still ain't much to say Yes, I am sure we should ignore the urge to restore Oh, it doesn't matter now anymore than it did before Oh, let me tell you Oh, what's it all gonna mean post-quarantine Oh, it doesn't matter now anymore than it did before Yeah, let me tell you When this is over, you can continue to keep your social distance from me Oh, you can continue to keep your social distance from me Oh, oh, you can continue to keep your social distance from me Oh, oh, you can continue to keep your social distance from me
