Van Occupanther - Midlake

I must be careful now in my steps

Years of calculations and the stress

My science is waiting, nearly complete

One glass will last for nearly a week

Let me not get down from walking with no-one

And if I stumble from exhaustion

These buckets are heavy, I fill them with water

I could ask these people, but I shouldn’t bother

Oh no, I’ve stumbled, was I going too fast?

Some get angry, some of them laugh

They told me I wouldn’t, but I found an answer

I’m Van Occupanther, I’m Van Occupanther!

Let me not be too consumed with this world

Sometimes I want to go home

And stay out of sight for a long time

Let me not be too consumed with this world

Sometimes I want to go home

And stay out of sight for a long time
