about

It’s so good to see yr here in IKEA
How long has it been?
The last time we saw you
I couldn’t ignore you
were several sheets to the wind

But now you’re looking great
With your measuring tape
And your parents must be chuffed
With how you’re measuring up

What did you say there?
Oh, you call it *IKEA*?
Well I guess that’s more Scandinavian

Is it IKEA or IKEA?
(Like “I care”)

Do you remember saying our world was going to end?
Well, it sort of did
But we didn’t notice here in Swedish utopia
We missed that apocalypse

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
The Devil’s in the woodwork
Where God buys his shelves

Are we grown-up now
Or just older than before?
Because I’m shopping for my coffin
Here in IKEA or whatever the ____ it’s called

Is it IKEA or IKEA?
(Like “I care”?)

Hej IKEA? Ja ja ja
Or IKEA? Yeah yeah yeah

“I.K.R.” etc.
Are we grown-up now
Or just older than before?

etc.
