You'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
wouldn'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 'round his house he must love all his
children That's what you think
But
there's no time to think Have a pill and a
shrink Just don't show us how you
sweat Making love to your kids is the last
love that you will ever get
You'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 there's no time to think Have
a pill and a shrink Just don't show us how you
sweat Making love to your kids is the last
love that you will ever get
You'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 he's been carrying
around
Tell me lampshade what is it you're
trying to hide under your stinky old
corduroy I shall rip and be shattered by the
shrapnell of light that I'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 it'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
