about

My friend told me I was normal when I needed to hear it and then told me he wasn't actually paying attention to what he was saying and that I'm not normal so I wrote this song.

lyrics

My friend told me recently that I was normal.
How I want to be normal.
Then he said "Aw, me. I wasn't listening. You're not normal!"
How I want to be normal.

I took it as such a compliment.
I said "WOW my friend, that is REALLY a ten as far as you go.
You don't give compliments very often!"
Then he said to me:

"I wasn't listening I'm sorryyyyy.
My brain's on auto-pilot. My head is in the clouds.
I wasn't listening I'm sorry to tell you that.
My brain's on auto-pilot, and this plane can't fly itself.
But I will make it fly itself.
This plane can't fly itself, but I'm on auto-pilot."

I have four HUNDRED stuffed animals in my room, and in my car.
How I want to be normal.
I got them when I was working at an arcade.
I thought that it would be really GREAT to save them from the trash.
Sell them for cash on Ebay
How I want to be normal! How I want to be normal.

Then I realized nobody wants Hotel Transylvania dolls and
THEN I got stuck with forty-SIX walking dead zombies! And I still have them!

I want to be normal, you weren't listening when I told you that.
Your brain's on auto-pilot at least ninety-nine percent of the time.
I want to be normal, you weren't listening when I told you that.
Your brain's on auto-pilot and this plane can't fly itself.
But you will make it fly itself.
This plane can't fly itself, but you're on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.

This plane will fly itself on auto-pilot.
This car will drive itself on auto-pilot.
This brain will run itself on auto-pilot.
This song will sing itself on auto-pilot.
