Aren't We Going Down?

Aren't we going down
Grabbing cases
Grasping straws
Storing up for winter
Trying to cling
Bringing appearance
To the tables
Of our friends
Saying 'No, no, no'
It won't end

Aren't we rolling rock
Baby, aren't we getting better
Aren't we determining our worth
In spiral notebooks
In garlic powder
In old cars
In back seats of old cars
In playing cards
In losing

Aren't we so dependable
Oh so co-dependable
Feeding each other cut-up meat
Meeting each other nowhere near halfway
Pretending to pay attention
To what the other wants
Wanting to scream out our demands
And not understand a damn thing

Aren't we tired
Aren't we trashed
Aren't we making rash decisions
Making ourselves into people
That shouldn't be around each other
Aren't we causing scenes
Aren't we not the we that we wanted to be?

Aren't we mumbling
Aren't we whispering
Aren't we going in other rooms
Living in other rooms
Sequestering ourselves
Wondering what the verdict will be

Aren't we doing a spiral
Aren't we twisting around
Aren't we hard to nail down
Aren't we hardened
Aren't we hard to get past?

Don't you ever miss the Bahama feeling
Like we were on vacation
Just because we were looking at the ceiling
Laying next to each other?

Don't you wanna be like
The couples we like
On tv?

Aren't we better than this?
Can't we go up and grow up and go up and go up and go up?

Or at least remove these question marks?
