emoticon breakdown
there’s no icon for my emotion
that’s why I’m having an emoticon breakdown
I’m having my emoticon breakdown
right here at the Wimpy in Klawer
’cause there’s no message from my lover
I’m having an emoticon breakdown
because there’s no icon for my emotion
oh woe, woe, woe
but then the waitress comes over
and she offers me the special
she says it’s quick and easy
it’s a chicken burger and chips
outside on the forecourt
a man parks his Harley
then straightens out his leathers
in the reflection of the glass
I’m having an emoticon breakdown
right here at the Wimpy in Klawer
because there’s no symbol for what I’m feeling
an Avroy Shlain rep
pulls up in a hot hatch
on her bumper’s her name:
Dolla Brand, I kid you not, Dolla Brand
my chicken burger comes
Dolla starts her car and goes
the sauce drips into my beard
I tell myself I’m fine
but it’s clear as the smell of petrol
that I’m having an emoticon breakdown
right here at the Wimpy in Klawer
I’m having an emoticon breakdown
because there’s no icon for my emotion
oh woe, woe, woe
