Texty: Modest Mouse. Building Nothing Out Of Something. Other People's Lives.

This is how it seems to be

Other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem much more interesting

Well I'm fed up and I need to go
Out of existence or just down the road forever
Well, later that night on the side of the road
I'm outta gas and I should have known better
Well, a guy shows up, 25 years old
Always stealing kisses, such a mother's boy
He said, and that's what he said

He's been in the army and he did some speed
He went down to Thailand, and he did the deed
Oh, yeah, he did it for the boys
A cop shows up, way damn late
I was excited, but usually I hate to see them

Other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more innocent 'cuz they ain't mine
Other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine
And other people's lives seem more interesting 'cuz they ain't mine

Later that night on the side of the road
I'm out of gas and I should have known better, yeah
I'm fed up and I need to go
Out of existence or just down the road forever, oh, yeah

Well, a guy shows up he's 25 years old
Always steals kisses, such a mama's boy
He said and that's what he said
Palm tree houses, way down lane
I was excited but usually I hate to see them, yeah

[Incomprehensible] overjoyed
On the road, out of road
Going out out of gas
Out of road, out of car
Out of everything at last

Out, out rent a car
Got yourself a crazy walk
I said, bowlegged
[Incomprehensible]

Late at night on the side of the road
I'm out of gas and I should have known better, oh, yeah
Palm tree houses, way down lane
I was excited but usually I hate to see them, yeah
Out of gas and nothing left

[incomprehensible]
