I see a Mansard Roof through the trees, I see a salty message written in the eves, The ground beneath my feet we are garbage and concrete, And now the tops of buildings I can see them too!
I see a Mansard Roof through the trees, I see a salty message written in the eves, The ground beneath my feet, we are garbage and concrete, And now the tops of buildings I can see them too!
The Argentines collapse in defeat, The admiralty surveys the remnants of the fleet, The ground beneath their feet Is a nautically map sheet as thin as paper while it slips away from you
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? I've seen those English dramas, too, they're cruel So if there's any other way to spell the word It's fine with me, with me
Why would you speak to me that way? Especially when I always said That I haven't got the words for you All your diction, dripping with disdain Through the pain, I always tell the truth
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? I climbed to Dharamshala too, I did I met the highest lama His accent sounded fine to me, to me
Check your handbook, it's no trick Take the chapstick, put it on your lips Crack a smile, adjust my tie Know your boyfriend, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have? Why would you lie about something dumb like that? Why would you lie about anything at all? First the window, then it's through the wall Li'l Jon, he always tells the truth
Check your passport, it's no trick Take the chapstick, put it on your lips Crack a smile, adjust my tie Know your butler, unlike other guys
Why would you lie about how much coal you have? Why would you lie about something dumb like that? Why would you lie about anything at all? First the window, then it's through the wall
Why would you tape my conversations? Show your paintings at the United Nations Li'l Jon, he always tells the truth
Johanna drove slowly into the city The Hudson River all filled with snow She spied the ring on His Honor's finger, oh oh oh
A thousand years in one piece of silver She took it from his lily white hand Showed no fear, she'd seen the thing In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay!
His Honor drove southward seeking exotica Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas, oh oh oh
I saw Johanna down in the subway She took an apartment in Washington Heights Half of the ring lies here with me But the other half's at the bottom of the sea
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Look outside at the raincoats coming, say oh Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay!
I wake up, my shoulder's cold, I've got to leave you Before I go I pull my shirt on, walk out the door Drag my feet along the floor I pull my shirt on, walk out the door Drag my feet along the floor
Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus Cruel professor, studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend I never want to see you again? How am I supposed to pretend I never want to see you again?
Walked to class in front of ya Spilled kefir on your keffiyah You look inside and turn to the door Drag your feet along the floor
Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus Cruel professor, studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend I never want to see you again? How am I supposed to pretend I never want to see you again?
In the afternoon You're out on the stone and grass And I'm sleeping on the balcony After class
