It's like we're tripping on shrooms
We sent a man to the moon
And then we ??? the chemistry lab
Strummin' acoustic guitars
We tunnel under the wall
Till we're popping a cap in his ass
I know eventually we'll get a turn at the wheel
Until the day that we do, what you're seeing is real
I'm the second-best hugger in the world
And I will be here to brighten up your world
I may not be exactly who you want
But I'm not all that bad
Second-best hugger in the world
Some come along for the ride, my little Scorpio child
'Cause I'm better than what's on your phone
Are you a boy or a girl? I put my hand in your shirt
And you can wear my invisible coat
[...]you are my favorite video game

Lyrics
I'll give your foot a massage
To take your mind off the world
'Cause babe I know you ain't got enough cash
Your occupation's a joke
But you're just foolin' around
But at least you are havin' a blast
I know eventually you're gonna figure it out
Until the day that you do I'll be here hangin' around
I'm the second-best hugger in the world
And I will be here to brighten up your world
I may not be exactly who you want
But I'm not all that bad
Second-best hugger in the world
So let me slice you some cake
And brew some rooibos tea
And polish up all your saxophone keys
I guess I'm kinda pathetic
But I don't really care
'Cause you're as cool as the knees on a bee
So let me hang out with you and we can go catch a flick
Or maybe shop for some Post-its and a spiral notebook
I'm the second-best hugger in the world
And I will be here to brighten up your world
I may not be exactly who you want
But I'm not all that bad
Second-best hugger in the world
Even though I'm a disappointment
I am here for your enjoyment
I'm the second-best hugger in the world
And I will be here to brighten up your world
I may not be exactly who you want
But I'm not all that bad
Second-best hugger in the world
I'm not all that bad
Second best hugger in the world
I'm not all that bad
Second best hugger in the world
