Lyrics
Checkered Pants
Push me, push me
I thought it would be more fun
Until it came undone
Open your eyes, new blossoms
Every moment is conscious
I took the down escalator up,
I got on the back of the bus
And I looked straight behind me
I got off I walked down the street backwards
No one noticed, no one seemed any different
I wear checkered pants, don’t you
Sometimes I wear a tie, don’t you
But, nobody notices, I don’t know what to say
I don’t really, care, I don’t really care
Push me....
Yeah, I wear tennis shoes to work ever Friday,
It’s casual they say, yeah, what am I going to say
I’m just glad to have a job, a paycheck every week,
Three squares everyday, life is complete
I have toilets that flush, cars that run, roofs that don’t leak
Did I push you, or did you push me
I thought it would be more fun
Until came undone
Yeah, when you get up the morning, take a look in that mirror
And say to yourself, baby, baby
Going to work, going right downtown, my life is as complete as yours
And I get around, and I wear plants, a coat and a tie
Ride the bus for fifty cents, barely alive
Push me, push me, or did I push you
Baby, I thought it would be more fun.
