Let's Get This Over With Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

The drumbeat never changes tempo 

It's steady like a rock 

And like a rock it crushes you as it gets louder 

The drum gets louder and louder 

And you know there is no parking on the dance floor 

And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow 

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow 

Creep across the ground until the day is done 

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun 

Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it 

And let's get this over with 

Even when you're out of work you still have a job to do 

Even when you don't know what it is 

Your job knows what it is 

What it is is it's coming to get you 

I'm talking to myself even when I'm saying "you"

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow 

Creep across the ground until the day is done 

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun

And let's get this over with 

After all the spelling mistakes 

After all the groping in the dark 

Can this page of strange gibberish 

Get a final punctuation mark? 

You're still hanging around the clambake 

After every clam has been baked 

No applause 

Awkward pause 

Hand extended waiting for a shake 

Photos 

And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow 

Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow 

Creep across the ground until the day is done 

All the while the planet circles 'round the sun 

Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it 

And let's get this over with 

Hurry up and let's get this over with 

You don't have to go home but you can't stay here 

Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it 

And let's get this over with
