lyrics

Woke up this morning with a mouthful of clay
The same, the same as yesterday
What do you think I did when faced with this grave matter?
Red-blooded and hormonally charged, I smashed it with a hammer

The clay began to grow and swell
That's when I noticed that sickly smell
The visions of the hospital flattened me like a Mack truck
Try as I did, I couldn't help but wonder:
Was it just a hard fuck?

Let me tell you more about this thing
The clay was sealed up in a wedding ring
Visions of clay green and blue
Damned if that clay didn't look just like you

What's going on behind my back?
Is it a break or is it just a crack?
Is it just noblesse oblige
Dispensed to a lowly sort like me?

What's going on? I'd like to know
Is it tangible, will it ever show?
The sun will rise to bite my eyes
Over the grave of romance I will eulogize

And she says nothing lasts forever
But I don't want to hear that shit
Pins and needles burn within
And I always seem to relish it
