[Verse]
Some of us think seldom in the night
Of god damn horses and god damn wires.
It’s in one ear, and never sees the other side.

And steadiness belies your tender years
With real world problems and real world fears
Be young, imbibe tonight.
Like you’re a work of fiction. OOOOOooooooOOOooo
So simmer down we’ll brave this city land
Like proto-people, Cro-Magnon hands
And stones for knives, and lions in our pants.
I could tell you all my thoughts on god.
Don’t mind his portraits, but I hate his psalms.
Were I a pious knob. I know id try and listen.
[Chorus]
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo Rest Assured
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo There are harder ways to go
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo When you’re tired just let me know
A E (intro)
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo We’re not in Kansas anymore
[Verse]
No it’s not a stretch for me to say
We’re strange young hermits, in a strange new place
And through the years
I hope it stays the same
The bed is warm but don’t believe the hype
And throw boring parties. Live boring lives
In saying this, I feared enough to try
And swallowed line and sinker
[Chorus]
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo Rest Assured
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo There are harder ways to go
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo When you’re tired just let me know
A E (intro)
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo We’re not in Kansas anymore
Bridge:
[Verse]
Some of us sleep seldom in the night
We’re god damn mortals, with no god damn time
And in saying this
Don’t pay it any mind
[Chorus]
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo Rest Assured
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo There are harder ways to go
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo When you’re tired just let me know
A E (intro)
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooo We’re not in Kansas anymore
