lyrics

Satisfaction guaranteed
Just don’t expect much of anything
Nervous heroes losing ground
Strange bedfellows churning sound
It’s practically perfectly nothing
Practically perfectly nothing

Parchment head, partially wed
Thick and thin from breakfast to bed
Subtle thread, nearly dead
Black and white and gray and red
I’m loudly and languidly strumming
I’m practically perfectly nothing

If you ask me, I’ll tell you
If you ask me, I’ll say
If you ask me, I’ll ruin it
I’ll give it all away
So just don’t ask, OK?
OK

Satisfaction guaranteed
Just don’t expect much of anything
Parchment head, faintly humming
Waiting for that second coming of
Practically perfectly nothing
Oh, practically perfectly nothing

If you ask me, I’ll tell you
If you ask me, I’ll say
If you ask me, I’ll ruin it
I’ll give it all away
So just don’t ask, OK?
OK

So just don’t ask, OK
Okay, okay…
