[00:44.452]As effortless as all you know
[00:47.720]As inactive as a charm
[00:50.753]This vessel's lowly stowaway is armed
[01:01.146]Let the credits rave and let the critics roll
[01:04.602]As the groom runs down the aisle
[01:08.211]In a hail of bullets
[01:09.973]I just throw a towel
[01:16.492]And write the bride out
[01:18.511]
[01:18.758]A second life, a second hand, a view of space
[01:23.477]With an elephant obstructing it
[01:25.593]I'm splashing grays where once was glowing white
[01:32.888]I hit the pavement in the sunlight
[01:38.915]And I would beg the kids to just come outside and play
[01:46.360]But I'd take the ball away
[01:55.951]What is a sorry state when you can't believe your eyes?
[02:03.430]You'll gladly take as second prize
[02:07.836]
[02:43.363]Oh, and there are prophecies you'll only prophesize
[02:47.709]Over niceties and gin
[02:50.679]And now you're asking, I don't know where to begin
[03:00.658]Oh, and all the critics rave as the credits roll
[03:04.614]They kept us wet behind the ears
[03:07.970]So we'll be speaking in hushed tones for fifty years
[03:13.589]Take this heart and wear it on the outside
[03:19.866]
[03:21.746]Oh, and as the rain comes down like a tickertape parade
[03:28.944]The tears slow and dissipate
[03:38.303]Oh, and as the blood and sweat you've invested evaporates
[03:45.798]You'll have tried, but you won't make it pay
[03:53.940]
[05:01.577]Sign this and file it under dumbstruck envy
[05:13.550]That'll strike you down
[05:18.658]Sightless, the comfort in the danger
[05:27.319]Enticing, I join the queue
[05:35.826]Mindlessly, I made her in my likeness
[05:44.448]Scattered and absolute
[05:52.964]Silent and transparent
[05:59.438]The one who holds the candle to the glow of you
