[Verse 1]
I saw the man at J.F.K
He took your ticket yesterday
[Refrain]
In the humdrum
In the humdrum
[Verse 2]
I ride tandem with a random
Things don't run the way I planned them
[Refrain]
In the humdrum
In the humdrum
[Verse 3]
Hey Valentina, do you want me to beg?
You got me cooking, I'm a hard boiled egg
[Refrain]
In the humdrum
In the humdrum
[Chorus]
Empty my mind -- I find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart -- don't need no stethoscope
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Seem' to me that television
She come to cut me a deep incision
[Refrain]
In the humdrum
In the humdrum
[Chorus]
Empty my mind -- I find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart -- don't need no stethoscope
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Out of woman comes the man
Spend the rest of his life getting back when he can
As a bow, so a dove
As below, so above
From the black hole
Come the tadpole
With the dark soul
In coal she burn, she burn
As I drove into the sun
Didn't dare look where I had begun
Lost among echoes of things not there
Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
From the white star
Come the bright car
Our amobea
My little liebe schoen
