It's just another thing hanging over my head
Like a chandelier
Like a candelabra
Like raindrops falling from the canopy
It looks like the end of time
It reminds me of the devil
But it's beautiful
It feels like death, but it's been there since I was born
I did it, so it's natural
It's a part of me
Moved faster than evil
Fell faster than dusk
Flew on the wind
Till they pulled out the rug
If you stay in one place long enough
Sins of fathers are bound to catch up
Repetition and monotony
In single file I'll probably
Have to ride the apogee
On coattails of mediocrity
I'll sit here and I'll have a drink
And let it take the best of me away
Today I will let go of my friend
And I will begin… Again…
My Achille's heel is on the shelf
My ex-lover's souls are all in hell
I'm flying high, and I'm suicide
I'm in love, and I'm in paradise
I'm exactly who I wanna be
Protagonizing the story I tell
But I can't sell myself
My Achille's heel is on the shelf
"The time has come," The Walrus said
"No time for lying in your bed
You gotta lose a part of you
To make your dreams truly come true"
Candles are a flickering
Hellfire ripping us
Show me serendipitous folly
Love’s not a gift to us
You're meant to lift me up
Fuck your vain, incredulous calling
Free will is an epic bluff
The ethic of Caligula
Bares serendipitous folly
I only got one teat to suck
Mother nature's Godly love
My swollen foot lusts for her body
Heeds the heir of broken thrones
When in Rome, breathe the dust
Sing me serendipitous folly
Foil crowns shackle up
Peasants draw for plastic doves
A stalemates' peace for the pawning
I’m only guessing ‘cause
Don't want a mess to clean up
Just serendipitous folly
I met your prophet over pagan blood
Called the mother on her bluff
Ran into the city on a donkey
Can't purge the guiltiness
Innocence ridding evidence
Evidently insufficient and appalling
Seven years a mirror's shatter-proof
Black cats and ladders move
A rabbit's foot stops the elevator from falling
The prophet and the poltergeist
Dead as nails and cold as ice
Your mother made a sacrifice (with her body)
Providence needs prudence probably
I still think of her quite fondly
She lives inside serendipitous folly
I wait for my limousine
With two thumbs up on a cold dark street
I take everything with me
In a big brown bag at the side of my feet
My wallet needs sympathy
Could you spare some change for a man in need?
As I wait for my limousine…
I wait for my limousine
To pull up here beside my new shed
And take all my misery
Back to the place where the first man said,
“Money isn't everything”
He never had to eat stale bread
I wait for my limousine…
I wait for my limousine
As I rake up change for the oyster’s pearl
I'd trade just about anything
To make my mark on the big bad world
They say, “money isn't everything”
They never had to live on the cold dark street
I can't pay for anything
So I wait for my limousine…
