lyrics

Now everything is coming up cankerous roses,
It seems everything is coming down.
The bittersweet reality that gravity imposes.
It’s for me whom that cold, chrome bell tolls now.

‘Cause I just can’t get my silence in edgewise,
Disquietude’s dripping from some dull, damaged knife.
Recanted romance, my requiem’s been compromised.
These folks is having, they’s havin’ the time of their life.

Marionette me, the strings that keep me on my feet,
Are the same chains to which Marley’s ghost is bound,
And as I stand at center stage a thought will not escape me,
The strings that hold me up are the chains that hold me down.

‘Cause I just can’t get my silence in edgewise,
Disquietude’s dripping from some dull, damaged knife.

I think my thoughts. I drink myself Tanqueray-rosy.
A word to the wise – stay silent and hide.
Burdened by this strange ideal that nobody knows me.
Live harder in a faster time. Hard liver and a bastard’s eye.

‘Cause I just can’t get my silence in edgewise,
Disquietude’s dripping from some dull, damaged knife.
Recanted romance, my requiem’s been compromised.
Tell me, darling, are you having the time of your life?
Tell me, darling, are you having the time of your life?
