lyrics

I don’t believe your apathy’s really your inhibition
You act as if your preference is just a coalition
I finally got kissed in my band uniform
after nostalgic festival of marching indecision

You know it’s hard when you’re dating your skeleton
when your expiration is still years away
and you’re sick of raw femurs and shoulder blades
and you know you’re the only one to blame

The eggs just don’t understand the mastery of art,
cynical of coral reefs and Eskimo insulation
First encounter belly dancing
Guess they’ll prefer false sanity of reality television

But I’ll keep on spelunking ‘til my soul falls off
holding a Northern Light into the dark
I’m playing checkers with Lucifer on a board of white squares
just us, and Persephone ballet-ing in his hair
He’ll use his intangibility while in the Marines,
and ship my presence to Nostalgia
My pocket’s got stars and atoms next to my keys
It’s astounding how high nostalgic rates can be!
Well, I’ve resigned to this somewhat melancholy content,
with this skeleton in the next cinema seat
It’s sometimes lonely, and conversation’s, frankly, quite bleak
But I’ve found he’s the only soul who’s really perfect for me!
