You Did Good Kid Lyrics

[Refrain]
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid, you did good kid

[Verse 1]
When your low serotonin's got you brittle and glitchy
And your friend from the null set isn’t calling you back yet
And your opening bombs and you're a few beats up ahead of the laugh track
How you gonna talk about who's toxic or not?
You gonna pick through the pills? You gonna call in the cops?
The comedian claimed that he forgot all his props
And the jokes don’t really work well without 'em
We were sleeping on the shuttle on the way to the club
And the holy perception and the most precious blood
It flooded the ruts and it soaked the upholstery
The driver made us walk the remainder
She came around the corner with a diplomat's shake
And some kind of crystal container
Yeah, mutually assured destruction is oftentimes a no-brainer
The drifters in the kitchen
Were thrashing through the passion
Boys, let's try to keep it on the carpet
You wouldn't be so impressed with the sunrise
If it wasn't for the darkness

[Refrain]
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid, you did good kid

[Verse 2]
But you settled for the first girl that said you were sweet
You bought a little house up on Sycamore Street
You hung around the money until they cut you a piece
You did good kid, you did good kid
But the things they didn't tell you when you went off to work
How does it feel? Where does it hurt?
You can't see the wires when they’re under his shirt
But they’re taking down every single detail
He came into the club with the commemorative plates
A depiction of The Slaughter at Shiloh
And the light in his eyes was diminished
But they announced his arrival
Once the assistant hitched us into the harness
The wolves all started acting kinda sheepish
Woke up in a bed with a spray painted mattress
Dripping wet with the emotional weakness
And every single moment gets abandoned and emptied
Every single speaker gets blown
And now you wanna go home

[Bridge]
Oh dude, they made a movie starring you
Oh man, this wasn't what you planned

[Outro]
You fold your hands and you laugh at the jokes
You did good kid, you did good kid
Oaks and acorns and acorns and oaks
You did good kid, you did good kid
Searching out another mouth in the smoke
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid, you did good kid
You did good kid
