Let's Get This over With - They Might Be Giants

The drumbeat never changes tempo

It’s steady like a rock

And like a rock it crushes you as it gets louder

The drum gets louder and louder

And you know there is no parking on the dance floor

And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow

Creep across the ground until the day is done

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun

Everybody knows how this goes so let’s get over it

And let’s get this over with

Even when you’re out of work you still have a job to do

Even when you don’t know what it is

Your job knows what it is

What it is is it’s coming to get you

I’m talking to myself even when I’m saying «you»

And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow

Creep across the ground until the day is done

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun

Everybody knows how this goes so let’s get over it

And let’s get this over with

After all the spelling mistakes

After all the groping in the dark

Can this page of strange gibberish

Get a final punctuation mark?

You’re still hanging around the clambake

After every clam has been baked

No applause

Awkward pause

Hand extended waiting for a shake

And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow

Creep across the ground until the day is done

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun

Everybody knows how this goes so let’s get over it

And let’s get this over with

Hurry up and let’s get this over with

You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here

Everybody knows how this goes so let’s get over it

And let’s get this over with
