Here's the lyrics, since Spotify won't open them for this or a bunch of other songs that are older than 2018 for some reason:
I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week
Indulging in my self-defeat
My mind was thugged all laced and bugged all twisted wrong and beat
Uncomfortable in three feet deep
Now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week
Impaired my tribal lunar-speak
And of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done
So I missed a million miles of fun
I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine
I was frying on the bench slide in the park across the street
L-a-t-e-r that week
My sticky paws were in to making straws out of big fat slurpy treats
An incredible eight foot heap
Now the funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat
Involved an under usual feat
And I'm not only among but I invite who I want to come
So I missed a million miles of fun
I know it's up for me
If you steal my sunshine
Making sure I'm not in too deep
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping versed and on my feet
If you steal my sunshine
I know its done for me
If you steal my sunshine
Not something hard to see
If you steal my sunshine
Keeping dumb and built to beat
If you steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
If you Steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
If you Steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
If you steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
My Sunshine
If you Steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
If you Steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
If you steal my sunshine
My Sunshine
You missed the start where it’s like:
Hey, have you seen Dave?
Uh he looks pretty uh down.
Do you think he likes buttertarts?
What in the fuck does any of that mean?
It means Len likes druuuuuugs. IIRC he took the record company advance, went on a 3 month bender with his buddies, and never delivered an album.
They spent the money for the video clip getting wasted the night before filming, with just enough to high some scooters, they're all hungover as fuck in the video clip.
I'm pretty sure the second verse is about giving head.
What the fuck is up with that anyway? Some of these songs the lyrics definitely worked on before. It seems like the lyric sync is missing on a lot of songs that used to have it too.
It coincidentally happened when they started making access to the lyrics part of the premium service and not for everyone. Either there's a bug in the code not pulling them because it failed to authenticate the premium user, or it's just greed where in the start slowly removing features without telling anyone.
