  • Written By: Mackenzie/Walker
For one night I'm the hero.
Suit up, tie.
Open the doors to The Oval Office.
In this story I'm president.

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.

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.

Give me 5 - it's all I need to inscribe my epitaph while I float O.B.E.
Am I dead or just paranoid?

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.

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.

Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…
Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…

Hogtied to self-indulgence.
Epicureanly living la dolce vita.
Just pass the aux. cord.

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.

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.

Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…
Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…

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.

Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…
Catching smoke. Catching smoke. Catching smoke…
