Preponderous 11:02
Get out of bed just the other day Turn the TV on See what newsman have to say Same old shit as yesterday They were killing each other and not one of them know why Kicking and screaming and not of them know why Burning and looting and not one of them know why And I don't understand, no I don't understand I can't understand, no I can't understand And I can't help it, can't help it It makes my brain go sideways The taxman he live for free One day I ask him: "Hey Mr. Taxman, Why you live so easily?" The Taxman he say to me The answer to your question The answer to eternity

You came into the room, and showed off all of your new clothes. You didn't realise that you weren't wearing clothes. You packed all your bags and you skipped town, with the intent to put it in your shoe one day, I guess that's your cross to bear. And now you're back again with what would seem for more, but don't you know we have a certain way that we do things round here? This town is not New York my friend. You ate the baby food, and spilled it all all over your new clothes. You danced with dinosaurs, and none of them were even wearing clothes. etc. etc.

It's early morning The day is barely dawning I look around and you are yawning With pine needles in your hair You're pleased to see me Though you would not want to be me For though my eyes are sweet and dreamy I have a tendency to stare You wear no make-up In one hour you must wake-up I make an offer you must take up As though the moment never cared I want to tie myself inside a hessian sack You are the straw that has broken this camel's back I am the voodoo doll and you're the final tack I am the fissure and my head's about to crack You threw a rock at me that I could not ignore When I'd been down the road a million times before Is there a fairytale behind this rotting door? Well now it's too late, we never will be sure How Could You Do This To Me? You left me standing there, with a suitcase in my hand And it was raining on me My colours all ran dry, and I did not understand How You Could Do This To Me? You left me standing, dying, choking on the corner My dearest counselor, I'm having trouble sleeping I'm having dreams wherein I'm weeping And no one understands Excuse me officer, I don't know how to say this It's getting harder every day, just Get This Harpy Off My Hands etc. etc.
