Dreading It

Set off, wrapped in Christmas lights

With a crazy glued Swiss Army knife

Pitons and football cleats

A suitcase of air and Ketamine

To a tower and a maiden

Complaining about the mattresses

And how peas are the diamonds of peasants

Gotta rescue her, and I'm dreadin' it

'Cause I don't like people

What do you want me to say?

I could lie and say that I do

'Cause lying's my main thing

She says, "Hold me tight

And don't forget about yesterday

And all those things you said to me

And all those things you said to me"

Set off in a hurricane

In a tiny boat with the ghost of Emmett Kelly

To find a chest of golden parlor tricks

Got bills to pay and a roof to fix

Of a tower for a maiden

Complaining about the mattresses

Gotta scuba dive to get it

In the middle of the night, and I'm dreadin' it

No, I don't like people

What do you want me to say?

I could lie and say that I do

'Cause lying's my main thing

She says, "Hold me tight

And don't forget about yesterday

And all those things you said to me

And all those things you said to me"
