Drip, drip, drip
Baby, when'd you get so Zen?
Drip, drip
When I used to know you when
Drip, drip
When you thought all my dreams sucked
Drip, drip
I was just happy you gave a f*ck
Drip, drip

And we don't want to do it
Drip, drip, drip
We want to be it
Drip, drip, drip

Tick, tick, tick
The Smartest Guy In The Room
Flick, flick
Might as well be on the moon
Click, click
Or in his tower or his tomb
Cricket
'Cause all I'm hearing is you
Drip, drip

And we don't want to do it
Drip, drip, drip
We want to be it
Drip, drip, drip

Drip, drip, drip
Baby, when'd you get so wrecked?
Drip, drip
And where are things at this moment?
Drip, drip
And all our friends gave us a week
Drip, drip
And we're still happening as we speak
Drip, drip

And we don't want to do it
Drip, drip, drip
We want to be it
Drip, drip, drip
Oh, drip drip drip

And we don't want to do it
Drip, drip, drip
We want to be it
Drip, drip, drip

Drip, drip, drip
Flick, flick, flick
Cricket, cricket
Cricket, cricket, cricket
