Busy at home I was happy for a while but the joke is over
looking down at the carefully laid out infamy
take the scythe to the rotting core of man-vegetation
now I sigh at the cool cool attitude to ignorance
the look in your eyes
when you gave this to me
just put me on my guard
in this elegant chaos I stand to one side
Shouting “ha” was I forced into this or was it given to me
it’s a nice idea as a gift or as something to try for a while
70 years? it’s neither one thing or the other
my big fear is to dig it at last and have it taken away
the look in your eyes
when you gave this to me
just put me on my guard
in this elegant chaos I stand to one side
It’s not my problem of secrecy I take it in my stride
did I learn to breathe to be killed like this? Uh
faces to the glass I see them televise my death
oh and here comes the part where I break down and cry
People I see just remind me of mooing like a cow on the grass
and that’s not to say that there’s anything wrong with being a cow anywhere
but people are people with the added adventure of the spoken word
we’re getting on fine but I feel more of a man when I get with the herd
the look in your eyes
when you gave this to me
just put me on my guard
in this elegant chaos I stand to one side
