lyrics

After the rush came the crush.
After the break came the flush.
Before those days the had ideals.
To those ideals they clutched.
But then, one day the sun came up.
And the Earth stretched out like it was not.
Like that scene from back in Beetlejuice
When dead Alec and Geena leave the house.
How can one ever leave the house?

[Intensifies screaming.]

Do I know what’s wrong? Do I know what’s right?
How do I define this hectic life?
We gotta go, baby there ain’t much time.
We’re all alone now and somebody’s got to fight.
Get yourself a good pen knife.

Is this real life? Are we still here?
Or did I fall off long ago with you my dear?
Say it ain’t so. Sad that it is.
In their malaise this Laissez-faire is for the kids.
Take that in place of a nuanced argument.

That guy from TV? the one who fell from space?
Sure he survived, but that shit’s written all over his face.
As he tumbled violently, I thought, “Man can I relate.”
Man can I relate.
Man can I relate.

Don’t forget to write. Burn up a note each night.
Babe you’re out of sight. I said babe you’re out of sight.
I wanna be alright. I want us to be alright.
And if that means we gotta fight, then shit, I guess we gotta fight.
But there’s no subtle silence seeking supple violence.
There’s no subtle silence seeking succulent violence.
There’s no subtle silence in the succulence.
