[Verse 1: Clyde Peterson]
It's all gone dull again, he said
Lit another cigarette
The revolution's come and gone and we've been left to carry on
Struggle, struggle, find a way
To earn a little less each day
See a ghost on every corner as the memories replay
[Refrain: Clyde Peterson]
And these old haunts
[Verse 2: Clyde Peterson]
I've been thinking about digging even deeper into nothing
Or just stopping before starting
In my dreams I'm always quitting
Talk about hard travels
Shit, we've toured some infernos
That would send Dante remodeling
The halls of his ninth circle
[Refrain: Clyde Peterson & Kimya Dawson]
And these old haunts
[Verse 3: Clyde Peterson & Kimya Dawson]
We've had punishers and jinglers and nibblers and wringlers
You might ask, what are all those?
Well, when you know, you know, you know
It's one part energy vampire, two parts master of disguise
Three parts just sheer force of will
'Til suddenly they're on a bill
Your cell phone's out of data
The hummus has gone missing
Their ukulele's strumming just as you had dreamt of sleeping
It's all gone dull again, he said
Lit another cigarette
The revolution's come and gone and we've been left to carry on
Struggle, struggle, find a way
To earn a little less each day
See a ghost on every corner as the memories replay
[Refrain: Clyde Peterson]
And these old haunts
[Verse 2: Clyde Peterson]
I've been thinking about digging even deeper into nothing
Or just stopping before starting
In my dreams I'm always quitting
Talk about hard travels
Shit, we've toured some infernos
That would send Dante remodeling
The halls of his ninth circle
[Refrain: Clyde Peterson & Kimya Dawson]
And these old haunts
[Verse 3: Clyde Peterson & Kimya Dawson]
We've had punishers and jinglers and nibblers and wringlers

'Til suddenly they're on a bill
Your cell phone's out of data

Their ukulele's strumming just as you had dreamt of sleeping
