|
Away with the lights |
|
and down |
|
with every last remaining |
|
conversational height |
|
are we out of sight? |
|
I'm not about to let this |
|
keep me up in the night |
|
Oh we happy few |
|
We condescending |
|
Congregating |
|
Party of fools |
|
Any words |
|
Will do |
|
A streaking and a stocking |
|
In a room with a view |
|
And I've done |
|
I've done what I could |
|
To black-and-whiten down technicolorhood |
|
But I know, I got to be good |
|
If I wanna catch the break that |
|
I know I should |
|
Yes I should, yes I should |
|
Have run away while I could |
|
Four years and a week |
|
To complete |
|
What Damon or Gonzales |
|
Would have done in a day |
|
Here's to our defeat |
|
We'll sugarcoat it all to cut the meaning away |
|
This is all so well |
|
As long as we get all the leeway needed to think |
|
We are hooks and cowbells |
|
I hope this ends up in a Kenzo advertisement |
|
And I've done |
|
I've done what I could |
|
To black-and-whiten down technicolorhood |
|
But I know, I got to be good |
|
If I wanna catch the break that |
|
I know I should |
|
Yes I should, yes I should |
|
Have run away while I could |
|
I got nothing to say |
|
I got nothing new |
|
Not a thing to convey |
|
To you |
|
I got no love to give |
|
And no message at all |
|
You won't learn anything |
|
