lyrics

This boring blood
from me it bleeds
a parting gift
between two thieves
but when i start to revel in it
is when it stops


we should know by now
every word I mean
is lifted from pop philosophy
and those I don't
are principally
the over-nurtured kind


why even bother placing a bet
when most of the fights are a fix
but sometimes somebody dies and we forget


it's bright as a headlight
fragrant as freesias
or virile animal sweat
but nobody's noticed the taste has gone just yet


it's of its time,
it's Wittgenstein
It's thinning words in turpentine
it's how the rooster makes his screeching
both wise and kind


it's cats and monkeys
monks and dames,
it's flipping quips from George and James
but when i start to revel in it
is when it stops
and when i start to revel in it
is when it stops


it's rehearsed hypotheticals
that posture as radical
and mostly the crowd's unimpressed
but sometimes somebody dies and they forget


I'm still short on charisma
dependent on stamina
and virile crocodile sweat
but nobody's noticed the taste has gone just yet
