Oh, damn, my Ikea shelf just broke
And there are books literally EVERYWHERE!
Oh, the humanity!

I need some more o' them little pins
But the IkEA store map was drawn by the guy who does their assembly diagrams
And I'm lost in bonkers again

And to top it off, my wife won't leave
but my dog done run away (I loved that dog)
And now I got squeaky shoes to boot!

Jack oblivion was tempting
But I crushed me up some mini Heath Bars, sprinkled them on some ice cream...

And ate the pain away.
Ate the pain away, oh
Ate the pain away

I thought books literally everywhere was a nice touch, if I do say so myself.
