"we been delivering the phonebooks" lyrics

We been livin' underwater
As a lightness that surrounds us with the pressure of the depths
Is givin' me tunnel vision
Makes me feel like a sinkin' ship
We been controlling the forecast
Seven day and breezy
But now I watch mercury
Bent down closer to freezin' and the wind howls like a bobcat

We been deliverin' the phonebooks
Once a useful directory
But now they're going extinct
We drop them on the doorstep just to be thrown in the trash

And we were once roses in the garden
So lush so brilliant
But now our petals wiltin'
The seasons come to end us we're just thorns upon a branch

Ah-da-dadadadada
Da-da-da-dadada
Dada-da-da-dadada
Dadada-dada-da-da-da
