==Lyrics==
Giving up, that's the easy part 
Turn your pockets out 
Tear your room apart

But you can't find anything 
To help you on your way 
Run, try to catch the bus 
And reach it just as it pulls away

For the black hole 
and the beautiful Crab Nebulae 
Time running out 
Time running dry

Frozen peas and carrots 
And pickled animal parts 
Sweet anticipation 
For the well-preserved at heart

One more walk around the animal pen 
Keeping to the sun 
But I'll end up in the shade again

Just one more walk 
Underneath the big starry-ass sky 
I wasn't born good enough 
That I wasn't born good enough for

Doctor don't you worry 
Doctor I feel fine 
Doctor I just swallowed 
Every grape on the vine

Hey look here it comes 
My great big luxury UFO 
Now drive this thing and go fast 
Why are we moving so slow

Just one more walk 
Around the animal pen 
I'm running happily in the sun 
I'll end up in the shade again

Just one more walk 
Underneath the big empty sky 
That I wasn't born good enough for

Doctor don't you worry 
Doctor I feel fine 
As long as I can fill that form 
I'll sign any dotted line
