"OK Overture" lyrics - AJR
[Intro:]
These are our drums
This is our melody
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Now, listen closely as our drums become our melody
And here's our song
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
So let me play my violin for you (Bang, bang, bang)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
So let me play my violin for you
The truth is that I'm screwed
Still, Joe, do you think I'm cool?
I got friends in a lot of weird places (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Wonder if they're gonna call, depending what my face is (Two, three, four)
I got friends in a lot of weird places (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Wonder if they're gonna call, depending what my face is
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Humpty Dumpty went, Humpty Dumpty went
Humpty Dumpty went down
He said "Screw it, I'ma smile right through it
And I'll scream when no one's around"
Humpty Dumpty went, Humpty Dumpty went
Humpty Dumpty went down
He said "Screw it, I'ma smile right through it
And I'll scream when no one, when no one
When no one's around, around, around, around
[Interlude]
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-ah
Da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da
And I'll scream when no one, when no one, when no one's around
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum set in a sad orchestra
One day, maybe someday in a world speeding up
It's getting hard, so very hard to keep up
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum set
In a sad orchestra
One day I won't know what to write
And I can't be eighteen my whole life
But I'm too fucking young to feel so fucking old
But I'll try and I'll try and I'll try
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright
[Outro:]
Bang, bang, bang
But I'm way less sad
Adventure is out there
Come on, guy
Bang, bang, bang
But it's all I have
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess I'll be alright
