a dirty deed is brewing green ivy overgrowing
|
the scissors poised and ready and she said that she was going
|
a thousand hours of waiting she put it all in writing
|
she pricked her finger for it but she's not cooperating
|
|
oh i swear
|
by the river styx
|
that's where i am fixed.
|
|
but i think the time is nearing i think i might be thawing
|
if only i were certain that my temperature weren't falling
|
and the tourists have been coming
|
from my fingers sawing
|
pieces for exhibits where impressive crowds are drawing
|
|
oh i swear
|
by the river styx
|
that's where i am that's where that's where i am i am fixed
|
|
and if i had the patience and i had the humor and you had the slightest clue what all this
|
fuss was for all of the times that i say that ill do it there's 909 that i secretly ruin its good
|
that i tell you what i am escaping for over the rainbow and out through the back door
|
|
if only i could prove it
|
if only i could do it
|
if only i could torture all the people who can use it
|
and at the final hour i am forced to sit and gather
|
the thousand hours of inspiration slowly growing sour
|
|
|
oh i swear
|
by the river styx
|
that's where i am that's where that's where i am i am fixed
|
|
and if i had an offer to be better id decline
|
and if it were more awful to consider id be fine
|
and if it were all my fault
|
that i'm that i'm that i'm that i'm
|
|
and i've pined and i've regretted that i aided and abetted
|
this end and if it isn't it will be soon you bet it will be
|
and the tapes are in the fire
|
go to bed because i'm tired
|
of saying it is done
|
because i've always been a liar
|
|
.....and if it were all my fault that i'm bitter....
