The song was an idea the guitarist Alex came up with to help flesh out the Nicky North story. This lighthearted song tells of Mr. North and how he seems to always find himself existentially running in place

lyrics

In an unfinished basement
Is where our story will start and where it likely will end
The couch in the corner
Picked off the side of the street is where we'll find our old friend

It's already about noon
And he's still sleeping at home
His alarm never went off
Forgot to plug in his phone
Avoid repercussions
Consequences unknown so just no call no show

Well there's Nicholas North, and he has no remorse
For the things that he's done, but at least he has fun
Ignorance is bliss, happiness can't be bought,
You'll never get in trouble if you're never caught

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Another lazy Monday
Every day is so rad when are unemployed
Permanent-a vacation
With unlimited time to do what you enjoy

So Nicky kicks off his shoes
And picks up his old guitar
A swig of creative juice
The kind you find at a bar

He lost in the music
If you don't want to be found just sing na na na na na na na
Na na na na
Hey now Nicky, make a living off your guitar
Na na na na
I can see the future and you're gonna go far kid

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Oh well there's Nicholas North, and he's got no remorse
For the things that he said, but at least he's not dead
Ignorance is bliss, happiness can't be bought
Common sense makes it clear that common sense can't be taught
Not all folks are content with the shit that they got
You'll never get in trouble if you're never caught
I swear you'll never get in trouble if your never caught!

ooh that Nicky, there goes Mr. North
There goes my anti-hero
There goes Nicky, there goes our boy Nicky North
Which way will he go? Hell if we know
There goes our boy nicky, wave goodbye to Mr. North
A regular 0, baby
There goes Nicky, smell ya later Nicky North
