Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For one night I'm the hero
Suit up, tie
Open the doors to the Oval Office
In this story, I'm president
[Verse 2]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then, I'll have the magic powers, whoo
[Verse 3]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlit room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism
[Verse 4]
Give me 5
It's all I need to inscribe my epitaph
While I float O.B.E.
Am I dead or just paranoid?
[Verse 5]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then, I'll have the magic powers, whoo
[Verse 6]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlit room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism
[Verse 7]
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
[Verse 8]
Hogtied to self-indulgence
Epicureanly living la dolce vita
Just pass the aux. cord
[Verse 9]
I've got happiness inside my pocket
It cost me 25 dollars
Maybe we could go halvies?
[Verse 10]
So gimme just a couple hours
Starting fires with soggy timber
Then, I'll have the magic powers, whoo
[Verse 11]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Swallowing the sun in a moonlit room
Standing at the foot of a rainbow
[Verse 12]
Everybody here is catching smoke
Looking for the ephemeral
Riding on a yellow-bellied brown snake
Sipping on hedonism
[Verse 13]
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
[Verse 14]
Not enough hours in the night
To keep me on this stinking horse
Everyone's rolling up pineapples
Writhing in the space between it all
Long-live my decisions, whoo
[Verse 15]
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
Catching smoke
