The Idler Wheel...

Oh, the periphery
They throw good parties there
Those peripheral idiots
Always have a bite to bear
Bear it, if you can
If you really want to


Go to the periphery
Have them celebrate your name
Have them forge you a pedigree, and then you'll be
Left to run the races, lame
Run it if you want
If you think it's worth it
But not with me


'Cause I don't appreciate
People who don't appreciate
All that loving must have been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all


Oh, the periphery
I lost another one there
He found a prettier girl than me
With a more even-tempered air
And if he wants her, he should get her
'Cause I think he thinks she's worth it


And maybe they'll move from the periphery
Buy themselves their own plot of land
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
Hoping he makes a good family man


And if he finds himself yearning
For his throne on the silly-side
There's nothing wrong as long as he's learning
Besides, he can take it up with his brethren or with his bride
Just not with me


'Cause I don't appreciate
People who don't appreciate
All that loving must have been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at


All that loving must have been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all


Oh, on the periphery
Oh, on the periphery
Oh, on the periphery
Oh, on the periphery
