lyrics

Excuse the rude interruption,
but I’ve got to tell you,
this thing’s sinking quickly
and it’s gonna kill you.
Too late to solve it
with an intervention
but there are some ideas
we’ve yet to mention..
sacred string of words;
holy manuscripts;
healing energy fields,
electromagnets..
We’ve got to get you cleaned up
and out of those dress clothes
I’ll explain to you now
how the sickness will unfold..

It starts with insomnia
and a gradual pneumonia
and when you start to cough blood
they’ll quickly disown you,
and you’ll have to be open
to an uncertain surface,
to place your tired feet on,
while we perform the surgery..

Let’s get you better friend..
Let’s get you better friend..

When you ligaments break
and your anger is toothless,
with Antigone’s shame,
knowing you didn’t choose this,
some will kick out the ladders,
but most are indifferent,
and when your ashes are scattered,
they’ll quickly forget you.
The other night I looked up at Orion
and though he has no eyes,
I could tell he’d been crying..
up in darkness undying,
I recalled the time when
you held up a lantern
to a face on some money
and with comic perfection
declared its bankruptcy.

Friend, I wouldn’t worry
about which direction.
Waters are all murky,
and all connected.
And I wouldn’t fret
who comes to your shores now,
the windows are blurry
inside every lighthouse.
But my God I said
more than I meant to say,
I just get on a tangent,
get carried away…
I shouldn’t worry you
all about the future,
so often I get lost
in all the minutiae,

but let’s get you better first..
let’s get you breathing first..
let’s get you water for your thirst..
you’ll be up and at it again.
And the wheels will start to spin.
And we’ll worry about this then.
