Some old guy on the TV said to bleach my body clean So I tried drinking Lysol and it made my thoughts obscene Now that I'm thinking clearer I'm going to make the scene So here's another song for you from my twisted dreams I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore You think you are funny but you're really just a bore Every single day with you is just another chore So I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore One more online meeting and I'll probably go insane You ate up all the cookies, there's no more beer for my brain Every day is just the same damn day again & again I could write a longer song but I just broke my pen I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore You think you are funny but you're really just a bore Every single day with you is just another chore So I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore I found another pen so here's another verse The dark web tells me don't prepare for the worst So all I did was scratch your name onto a hearse I know you'd the same for me if you had got there first I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore You think you are funny but you're really just a bore Every single day with you is just another chore So I don't wanna be quarantined with you anymore

The governor told me to put on a mask I said man I thought you’d never ask My face is not an appealing feature The girls all told me I’m a hideous creature Now I can roam the streets with confidence Cause I’m covering up my countenance Hey sweetie, let’s start a conversation You’ll really get to use your imagination I’m not ugly under here I’m much better than I appear But, baby, please don’t ask What’s under the mask? Now my face is covered cause I’m well aware Of the many dangers of going bare I could get an airborne virus load Or you could find out that I look like a toad I’ll keep my mask on to stay protected From having my hideous face detected I hope they never find a vaccine Because my naked face is so obscene I’m not ugly under here I’m much better than I appear I look like Elvis in ‘68 One night with me would be pretty great But, baby, please don’t ask What’s under the mask? Every day I live in fear That the virus will disappear Then you’ll see me walking down the street And you won’t get within six feet I’m not ugly under here I’m much better than I appear I look like Iggy in ‘74 Writhing across your floor But, baby, please don’t ask What’s under the mask?

Way back when you really broke my heart You had that technique down to an art So now for the sake of my mental health I plan to remain completely in stealth Here in these pandemic times There’s another reason to draw the line If you get too close to me I’m gonna call the governor, can’t you see So now there’s reasons one and two For me to stay away from you And it’s as simple as it can be Just keep a safe distance from me Don’t know why you’re coming around again Since you ran off with my best friend You really put me in my place Now I want you out of my personal space My therapist said “don’t analyze her Just use a stronger sanitizer, Gloves and bleach are not enough, You really gonna need some toxic stuff” So now there’s reasons one and two For me to stay away from you And it’s as simple as it can be Just keep a safe distance from me If you cross my border I’ll get a restraining order I could list many reasons more But I don’t want to be a bore 6 feet away is the minimum Cuz you belong in the sanitarium So now there’s reasons one and two For me to stay away from you And it’s as simple as it can be Just keep a safe distance from me

Already Home 03:44
Well when I wake up in the morning, I’m already home And when I bring you a cup of coffee, you’re already home You and me, every day, doing our jobs, earning our pay Never leaving, our home, cuz we’re already home Now I go to work in our basement of our home And you go to work in the upstairs of our home You and me, every day, doing our jobs, earning our pay Never leaving, our home, cuz we’re already home Now our kids go to school online in our home So they sleep until the crack of noon in our home They do their homework now and then, watch some TV again Never leaving, our home, cuz they’re already home At the end of the day I finish work in our home You do the same, every day, still in our home We make some dinner, crack some jokes, we’re just normal old folks Never leaving, our home, cuz we’re already home Yeah, it’s quarantine time here, that’s why we’re home The bars and restaurants are closed so we stay home Stay indoors, listen to blues, ya can’t even get a tattoo We’re not leaving our home, cuz we’re already home
