lyrics: |
  I'm gonna scream
  Maybe take a nap
  Alexa, where's some pizza at?

  I'm gonna dream
  Of sitting on a plane
  What I'd do for a free drink

  I gonna plan
  A party for my friends
  See them when the future ends
  I'm talking

  Ooo
  Surely you don't think that we will go it alone but
  I'm not a killa, so I'll stay in my home and
  Yeah

  Checkin' out
  And now I'm out of touch
  I waste a month or two
  Nothin' different nothing really changed
  There's nothing much to do

  Takin' off with all the anarchy
  But sitting on my hands
  Creature comfort come and comfort me
  Then wash another pan

  Doo doo doo
  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

  Doo doo doo
  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

  I gonna plan
  A party for my friends
  See them when the future ends
  I'm talking

  Ooo
  Surely you don't think that we will go it alone but
  I'm not a killa, so I'll stay in my home and
  Yeah

  Checkin' out
  And now I'm out of touch
  I waste a month or two
  Nothin' different nothing really changed
  There's nothing much to do

  Takin' off with all the anarchy
  But sitting on my hands
  Creature comfort come and comfort me
  Then wash another pan

  Doo doo doo
  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

  Doo doo doo
  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

  Time, there's no time
  There's time
  So much time
  (Toilet paper)

  Checkin' out
  And now I'm out of touch
  I waste a month or two
  Nothin' different nothing really changed
  There's nothing much to do

  Takin' off with all the anarchy
  But sitting on my hands
  Creature comfort come and comfort me
  Then wash another pan

  Doo doo doo
  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

  Time to celebrate
  No time to celebrate
  Doo doo doo

Track three on [*Masks and Monsters*](/albums/masks-and-monsters/), also a standalone single (April 2020). Luke solo, North Park lockdown record. Not a cover: the title plays on *creature comfort* as domestic coping, not travel nostalgia.

The verses run on shrunk ambitions (scream, nap, ask Alexa for pizza), with travel and bar culture filed under lost pleasures and social life deferred to *when the future ends*. The pre-chorus names the moral math of early COVID plainly: *I'm not a killa, so I'll stay in my home*. Responsibility as simply staying put. The best line balances small mercies against endless dishes, *creature comfort come and comfort me, then wash another pan*, and a break drops the March 2020 panic into a single word: *(toilet paper)*. The outro loops *time to celebrate, no time to celebrate*, holidays on the calendar with no party to throw.

Same locked-in room and grin-under-pressure as [*A Good Life*](/songs/a-good-life/). Pairs with [*Snuggle With Shaggy*](/songs/snuggle-with-shaggy/) and [*Pandemic Blues*](/songs/pandemic-blues/); the exhale comes later on [*2020 Is Over*](/songs/2020-is-over/).
