lyrics

You ran over a unicorn
in your kick-ass Mitsubishi
And as it punctured both your front tires,
you just prayed about insurance

‘Cause you believe
in a man,
in the man,
in a toxic aerosol can
While in your heart’s
a lesson plan
for your entire, humdrum life

And as you pine for new relationships,
and obsess about your weight,
you’ve simply put the seal upon
your self-fulfilling fate

You simply love to toe the line,
and file down all your claws
Domesticate, and medicate,
your deviant, wild flaws

Make a living,
embrace routine,
and just dream about exemption
You’ve stifled every raw impulse,
with no room for your redemption
So you’ve become, too willingly,
just some grease in a machine
Empty of blood,
inner flame’s a dud,
with no imagination
But you can still undo the spell,
escape this hell,
no soul to sell
You can save that unicorn,
and avoid all that stagnation
