shiny as the surface of the water

bright as the reflection of the sun from far away

wicked as magicians with desire to deceive

mention an invention and my mama starts to leave

give it to the children and they say they can't breathe

yeah the novelty is wearing off

ooo the novelty is wearing off

infinitely smaller than a second

something that you never knew had left

something that is gone as soon as you put it on

yeah, the novelty is wearing off

equalizing danger with my freedom

running with the bulls is wearing off

summarizing money as the reason

checking my accounts is wearing off

meeting just to talk about my options

practicing for later's wearing off

feeling fucking musically retired

not recording what i have in mind

infinitely smaller than a second

something that you never knew had left

something that is gone as soon as you put it on

yeah, the novelty is wearing off

dreaming of a region that will always be beyond

buy another bottle liquify into a pond

drinking it with friends to solidify the bond

yeah the novelty is wearing off

ooo the novelty is wearing off

infinitely smaller than a second

something that you never knew had left

something that is gone as soon as you put it on

yeah, the novelty is wearing off

optimism shmoptimism

driving in circles, train back and forth

put the stuff in and out of the closet

6 months in the cold is wearing off
