lyrics
Interior, The Room
A man, dressed like a child, approaches Thomas with a mocking look on his face. He takes a bite from an apple, and speaks.
Don’t you bother stopping on your way home
Picking up some trinkets or a treat
Cos while you’re fretting over your promotion
Your best friend’s slinging semen on your sheets
While you’re putting food upon the table
She’s getting chocolate fingers on the stairs
Right up in there
There’s a seven-year Ishtar who’s able to have men do her bidding
Who owns this pit hidden deep beneath her lair?
Sure it’s yours, it ain’t mine
You’re deluded it’s fine
Are you losing your mind?
Cos everyone thinks you’re blind to what’s been going on
Your home-sweet-home is full of happy endings
That don’t have anything to do with you
Cos she’s expecting nothing but a wedding
And a quick Hotel Procrustes honeymoon
I’m dropping hints like amateur Hail Marys
Whose best friend’s deep in moral bankruptcy?
Whose sense of pride’s away with the fairies?
And whose demise is hanging over me?
Sure it’s yours, it ain’t mine
You’re deluded it’s fine
Are you losing your mind?
Cos everyone thinks you’re blind to what’s been going on
Is it true, Johnathan? No part of you sees nothing wrong
As you drift along, things are going strong
Cos you’re sitting on an atomic bomb
Just as the man-child ceases his tirade, Thomas sees a disturbing sight…a man, dressed exactly like him, descending a staircase into The Room. If he can see Thomas, he doesn’t let it show, but strolls confidently out the front door.
I’m suffering recurring premonitions
Ozymandias lies shattered on the sand
Screams and sirens pull me from my vision
Whose blood is this that’s dripping from my hand?
I’m sure it’s yours
A man, dressed like a child, approaches Thomas with a mocking look on his face. He takes a bite from an apple, and speaks.
Don’t you bother stopping on your way home
Picking up some trinkets or a treat
Cos while you’re fretting over your promotion
Your best friend’s slinging semen on your sheets
While you’re putting food upon the table
She’s getting chocolate fingers on the stairs
Right up in there
There’s a seven-year Ishtar who’s able to have men do her bidding
Who owns this pit hidden deep beneath her lair?
Sure it’s yours, it ain’t mine
You’re deluded it’s fine
Are you losing your mind?
Cos everyone thinks you’re blind to what’s been going on
Your home-sweet-home is full of happy endings
That don’t have anything to do with you
Cos she’s expecting nothing but a wedding
And a quick Hotel Procrustes honeymoon
I’m dropping hints like amateur Hail Marys
Whose best friend’s deep in moral bankruptcy?
Whose sense of pride’s away with the fairies?
And whose demise is hanging over me?
