lyrics

Last night, Jannella had me watch
A horror film that's set in New Orleans
Oh wait, I'm sorry
that's pronounced New Orleans

Afterward I went outside to
Smoke the last half of my cigarette
But I was spooked, man
I just couldn't enjoy it

So what's got me so paranoid?
My friend Karin told me to look
Behind the gore at all the horror
There's something else at play

Behind the masks and knives and '80s blood
The moving apparitions
Is it misogyny inside the home?
My lack of real ambition?

You think your life is miscellaneous?
Well life is miscellaneous!
Can you even imagine?
Just try again without your voice

Try a life of living everyday,
You're just walking down the street
What makes you look over your shoulder?
Does someone want you dead?

Try a life where people want me dead
A life where people want me dead
I'm looking t'ward the branches--
A dirty rope around my neck

I've got a horror film inside my head
A horror film inside my head
I haven't got a reason!
Will someone turn it off?

I've got a horror film inside my head
A horror film inside
I haven't gotten a reason!
Shit's feeling pretty real
