Lyrics
Mortimer’s ghost graduates today
First in his class and well on his way
The dry cleaning king of Baltimore’s only kid
Thinks back on all the things he almost did
“I could’ve wrecked the car
I could’ve broke the law
I could’ve fell love with every girl I saw
But I didn’t and I missed my chance to fail
And if I tried right now, well I’d probably go to jail”
Singing la la la la la look at me now
CHORUS:
I’ve got it figured out
Life is a long conversation
And love is a call that never ends
Don’t hang up the phone, you’re not alone
You’re with me and I’m with you
And we’re with friends
Mortimer’s ghost calls me to confess
His job is a joke, his life is meaningless
“They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank
Freedom’s just another word for you owe the bank”
Singing la la la la la la look at me now
CHORUS
Buckled up in shirts and ties
Waiting for the downsize
You decorate your cubicle
You can’t go out your schedule’s full
Got to get the kids at five
They’re judging you by what you drive
They’re judging you by what you drive
They’re judging you by what you drive
Life is a long conversation
And love is a call that never ends
I’ve got it figured out
X2
La la la la la look at us now X2
