lyrics

I can't get my ducks in a row
They just spread their wings and peck at me
When I get too close
Some days are just for the birds
But things can always get worse

They used to waddle now they're flying instead
So I guess I'll run for cover
As they aim for my head
Is there egg on my face
Or is it something else? I don't wanna know

I need a shower, then I'll show them
I'm not finished yet
And I'll look pretty, as I put them in their place
(Yeah Right)

Life just likes to laugh at me
I never asked to star in my own comedy
But I'm pretty sure that life just likes to laugh at me, so
I'll let myself in on the joke
Whoah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't get my ducks in a row
They just spread their wings and peck at me
When I get too close
But I won't be foiled again
'Cause this time I've got a plan, oh

I followed them back to the nest
But I brought some bags of chicken feed
So I don't get wrecked
Nobody's fun when they're hangry
But we'll get along 'til dinner is done

I made an impression
'Cause the ducklings all imprinted on me
Now I look foolish
As they follow me around

Life just likes to laugh at me
I guess I could be mad, but I don't wanna be
Yeah I hope I never take myself to seriously, so
I'll let myself in on the joke

Life just likes to laugh at me
And most of my existence is embarassing
But we'll all look back and laugh at this eventually, so
I'll let myself in on the joke
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Blake Westerby

Drawing inspiration from mid-2000s emo/pop punk and a few decades' worth of video games, the band specializes in upbeat tunes, with prominent melodies, distinct guitars, and emotionally-charged lyrics.

The band debuted with the Glowing in the Dark EP in November 2014, and recently released The Better Friends EP in early 2016.
