lyrics

Tripping happily along
Humming every morning's song
'Til I get the feeling that you're looking at me all wrong
I'm being objectified!
I can see it in your eyes
In the way you're forming salutations as I walk by

No, just let me be
So I can focus on my feet moving in front of me

Hey, Steve!
Why don't you shut up?
I'd tell you "good luck"
But I don't wanna wish you anything
Hey, Steve!
Don't say "good morning"
This is your warning
And I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you any

These days I avoid your block
Had to find a different walk
Just to circumvent the deer-in-headlights vibe when you talk
Now I say "good morning" to
Men who are older than you
And guess what? None of them suck!
So maybe this is your cue

No, just let me be
So I can focus on my feet moving in front of me

Hey, Steve!
Why don't you shut up?
I'd tell you "good luck"
But I don't wanna wish you anything
Hey, Steve!
Don't say "good morning"
This is your warning
And I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you any

Call it an overreaction
But it hurts to be reduced to a distraction
Your unwelcome attention
Has nothing to do with my actions

No, just let me be
So I can focus on my feet moving in front of me

Hey, Steve.
Why don't you shut up?
I'd tell you "good luck"
But I don't wanna wish you anything

Hey, Steve!
Why don't you shut up?
I'd tell you "good luck"
But I don't wanna wish you anything
Hey, Steve!
Don't say "good morning"
This is your warning
And I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you anything
No I'm not gonna give you any

about

Punch The Sun New York

PTS is equal parts noise and sensitivity, with introspective lyrics and irreverent shout choruses, revelling in dancy anti-man-splaining anthems, dreamy thunderstorm ballads, and yellin’ about guys named Steve.
