Spectacular
And you want to be perfect and so passionate
you want to destroy the world with your annihilating wit
but like any rotting turnip, but like any bag of burlap
but as anyone can see you’re just not up for it
but as anyone can see you’re just not up for it

Something similar is waiting
some spectacular mid-air mating
some way that you’ll never get it back

grasp and cling and do your thing
it’s all just waiting for the phone to ring
the denial, they defile all that you lack


You think that it’s a race and that you’re way ahead
the living are enamored and you rule the dead
but the stopwatch has been static, in your arrogance and panic
you haven’t heard a single thing I’ve done or said
you haven’t heard a single thing I’ve done or said

Take your time don’t keep them waiting
underneath that copper plating
there’s something porous, some still remember how to live

Watch your cruelties oxidize
it won’t make you real or wise
and anyway, you’ll probably get less than you give
