Youand'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova
not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover
that is his car
You wouldnand't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance
changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink.
to judge from the fence and'round his house he must love all his children
thatand's what you think
But thereand's no time to think
have a pill and a shrink
just donand't show us how you sweat
making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ever get
Youand're a vanishing image of what i thought i knew
but it comes to show
that the man i know -
Is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birthday
love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
now dog is a bird
But thereand's no time to think
have a pill and a shrink
just donand't show us how you sweat
making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ever get
Youand're a vanishing image of what i thought i knew
but it comes to show
that the man i know
has a fading glow
in a white lampshade
Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul?
did you protect all the horrible?
i shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
what heand's been carrying around
Tell me lampshade what is it youand're trying to hide
under your stinky old corduroy
i shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light
that iand've been choking on always
There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
sounds like he wants to escape the chain
he would probably bite me to death if he could
but the chain lets me spit in his face
Like the dog has a chain clinging close to itand's neck
this man is tied to his secrecy
i would like to have killed him off in this last verse
but instead i removed his lampshade
