Eulogy Lyrics
[00:23.19] Excuse me for intruding in your piece of hell
[00:26.37] I want to be at the table when the swollen world eats itself
[00:29.49] Grinning as it's licking the grease from its starving continents
[00:32.05] Carving the word 'par' in my heart as I pass the condiments
[00:35.29] Shred the documents
[00:36.32] I slept gripping an iron bar
[00:37.93] Sent my mind touring the dark side in a hire car
[00:41.00] The lit neon sign just read 'live a liar die a star'
[00:43.77] So I arrived with my severed tongue in a giant jar
[00:46.90] A barfly with a vile scar orders his seventh round
[00:49.50] The clandestine kids on the corner were selling brown
[00:52.39] And I was sporting organs that morphed into gormless orphans
[00:55.05] I taught to ignore the laws of this boring decrepit town
[00:58.24] They had the smack soup with them fat crack croutons, damn
[01:01.69] I almost puked into my Lapsang Souchong, fam
[01:04.71] Watching addiction rip the stitches out of introverts
[01:06.90] Is akin to clocking pigs in this city picking a kid to search
[01:09.79] It's butters
[01:10.68] I skipped desert and ripped the skies asunder
[01:12.57] Enveloped every atom left my skin beside the puncture
[01:15.87] The drowning kitten orchestra begin their final number
[01:18.20] To a riotous applause from the kids inside the bunker
[01:21.90] And everyday they grew less beautiful
[01:24.46] I'd kill 'em but I couldn't find a suplex suitable
[01:27.22] A mass of black suits swarm a moonswept funeral
[01:30.22] The eulogy was whispered by myself as usual
[01:33.58] Here lies your every mortal enemy
[01:36.45] Beaten to a pulp and packaged neatly in the cemetery
[01:38.99] Regrettably, you are now contractually obliged to sell your tongue
[01:42.39] For twenty pence
[01:43.14] And shovel maggots in your eyes
[01:44.52] Now shake my fucking hand Looks like I blew the whole shit up again
[01:58.20] Come we reverse time
[01:59.42] Drill a ditch and fill it with drug oil and desert wine
[02:02.35] And we can take turns powersliding into the night
[02:04.74] Riding a shrunken block of ice
[02:06.33] And return surfing the world blind
[02:08.56] Fine, let my face stew in the revelry
[02:10.99] Boil amidst the madness and straight ruin the recipe
[02:13.88] The breakthrough of the century
[02:15.63] How can you explain yourself with a brain trained to melt
[02:17.73] On command mewing incessantly?
[02:20.35] And when the whole world ate itself
[02:22.64] I stayed to hear the famous belch ringing round the dining hall
[02:25.70] As unborn babies fashioned ice picks from ribs
[02:28.45] And glued their hands to them with spit
[02:29.62] To stop them slipping down vaginal walls
[02:31.95] Bow to the head of the prang foetus club
[02:34.32] Still in the womb with his head in his hands creasing up
[02:37.47] Sneaking up, crawling out the gash and handing each of us a
[02:40.02] Pamphlet on why living isn't sweet enough
[02:42.09] Sour vibes
[02:43.99] Lather up and step out drunk
[02:45.70] I've seen it all before and never tore my flesh out once
[02:48.65] Your meal's been marinating in the sewer tied in tourniquets
[02:51.35] So never blame the waiters for your deadout munch
[02:55.18] Fussy diner turned untouchable pile of mess
[02:57.60] Compressed to a small spherical ball stuck to a wiry neck
[03:00.44] The smile suggests it was added purely for the asinine effect of
[03:03.36] Tricking its recipients
[03:04.74] Shit, give your eyes a rest
[03:07.10] Here lies your every mortal enemy
[03:09.25] Beaten to a pulp and packaged neatly in the cemetery
[03:12.12] Regrettably, you are now contractually obliged to sell your tongue
[03:15.28] For twenty pence
[03:16.13] And shovel maggots in your eyes
[03:17.66] Pick them up start shovelling
[03:34.95]
[00:26.37] I want to be at the table when the swollen world eats itself
[00:29.49] Grinning as it's licking the grease from its starving continents
