Nothin' Song Lyrics

Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be working so late
Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be working so late
Wonder should I be working so late
Began this take at 7:38
Head hit the board, enough that it aches
Wonder should I be working so late
Wonder should I be working so late, oh

Well the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Hey-ey-ee
Nothin' ever stays the same

Went outside to give all a break
Wearin' cowhide, steak on a skate
Back inside, sam, throw away your cake
Went outside to give all a break
Went outside to give all a break
Wearin' cowhide, steak on a skate
Back inside, sam, throw away your cake
Back inside, sam, throw away your cake, oh!

Well, the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Hey-ey-ee
Nothin' ever stays the same
Well, the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Hey-ey-ee
Nothin' ever stays the same

Nothin'
Oh, nothin'
Nothin' (nothin')
No

Gotta finish so I can awake
Feed the cat as she spreads all the waste
Snap her neck or trade in for new make
Gotta finish so I can awake
Feed the cat or she spreads all her waste
Snap her neck or trade in for new make
Snap her neck or trade in for new make, oh!

Well, the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Like peanut butter on the brain
Ah-ah-ee
Nothin' ever stays the same

Well, the nothin' song sticks to your mouth
Hey-ey-ee (nothin')
(Nothin' ever stays the same)
Nothin' (nothin' stays the same)
Hey-ey-ee
Nothin' stays the same
Nothin' stays the same
Nothin' stays the same (nothin' stays the same)
