Call the Smithsonian I made a discovery Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free Loved ones will break your heart with or without you Turns out we don't get to know everything verse 1 Get the young scientists, tell them "come quick" I must be the first man that's ever seen this Lines on my face, my teeth are not white My eyes do not work and my legs don't move right Call the Smithsonian I made a discovery Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free Loved ones will break your heart with or without you Turns out we don't get to know everything verse 2 I wonder if Romeo ever got scared Taken but shaken, unprepared Under the balcony, under the trees Fully unknowing of where this would lead What if we marry or give up the ghost? Or we abandon those we love most? What if you carry me and lay me down Once you get used to me being around? Call the Smithsonian I made a discovery Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free Loved ones will break your heart with or without you Turns out we don't get to know everything verse 3 My bedroom's an office, my kitchen's a car My life is a joke, my bathroom's a bar I go there a lot, more than I should I know I should stop but it feels too damn good Call the Smithsonian I made a discovery Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free Loved ones will break your heart with or without you Turns out we don't get to know everything
