Jimmy Breeze (Side A) Lyrics
I taught myself to survive a four story fall
Wearing a space suit and a dead englishman’s socks
It’s a textbook procedure, kid
Right out of the pages of the hollowed out book
Where once I hid my paint speckled glasses
Don’t lose your shoes over such a simple step as hitting ground
Just remember to roll,
Just remember to roll.
Silence in a five story starewell
I say, and that’s all I can think of
In my brandon-eyed dead of day crawl
I can barely squeeze that lie
Through the plaque clogged pinhole between my two front teeth
MOM,
I’ve kept a razor under my tongue since I was a small toddler with a tight belt
I haven’t been able to kiss a woman with an open mouth, my friend
Cause I’m afraid that I’d split her lip,
Is that sick?
Wearing a space suit and a dead englishman’s socks
It’s a textbook procedure, kid
Right out of the pages of the hollowed out book
Where once I hid my paint speckled glasses
Don’t lose your shoes over such a simple step as hitting ground
Just remember to roll,
Just remember to roll.
I say, and that’s all I can think of
In my brandon-eyed dead of day crawl
I can barely squeeze that lie
Through the plaque clogged pinhole between my two front teeth
I’ve kept a razor under my tongue since I was a small toddler with a tight belt
I haven’t been able to kiss a woman with an open mouth, my friend
Cause I’m afraid that I’d split her lip,
Is that sick?

One of my favorite songs of all time. The last verse is amazing.
Just found out that the 8 bit sounding part is from the Goonies 2 NES game, based off the Cyndi Lauper song from the movie. So awesome.

A few corrections, the lyrics are in the lyrics booklet:
Right out of the pages where once I hid my PAINT SPECKLED glasses
I can barely squeeze that lie through the PLAQUE CLOGGED pinhole between my two front teeth
After this section there the mostly instrumental middle section that sounds like Why? is talking backwards and there he says:
Maybe I've been playing the part of a falling stone who tries to catch the wind.
And then the last part with the singing:
The man with the negative wingspan Eats sourdough sue bread And hits his highest notes on tippietoe It's simple introspection When the sun is silent And the fluorescents with their blue Make the plants call you A lonely monkey In a very large glass cage
