It's almost too much I pretty much just wanted to relate Who you are more than what you think "Down with beauty," they shouted from the gate "Down with beauty," they shouted from the car Like they could've been wearing bibs Going no one knew where or how far or wherever that is It's past the nth country and world state Up with wilderness and popular plains And sail to the clotheslines facing it And facing it Always facing it Where the heaviest seas run with the wind And that's the way to get through
And you said the f** word over and over again Where people lower their voices and douse their fires That's what cooking in wartime requires And it's almost too much And it's almost too much Okay, there are murderers among us crawling out of the TV And there are murmurs that love is a song that may have gotten too cheap And there are mermaids among us that don't give me your heaviest seas Don't give me your heaviest seas Don't give me your heaviest seas It's almost too much
