Let's all hang our heads in light of the recent events
With temperatures set. And we can try
To ignore this great white elephant
A fine representative of excess
We all continue to say the same things
Just not at the same time
Strap our pride to the towline
Five miles behind
Pack a lunch for us
Stale bread and loneliness
Ring out your hands all night, to make capricious decisions
A complete waste of time
Hours of fervid worry
For an implacable stubborn mind
How many little things can go wrong before we start worrying?
How many little things can go wrong before we start sweating?
Another preemptive pat on the brow
Another crisis compacted with sound
Bury our voices in the swirling air
Of a sleight of hand trick
Ring out your hands all night
In unconscious inflection
If these walls keep me any sort of company
Would all alone feel so lonely?
All I can't say, it never drifts away
How many little things can go wrong before we start worrying?
How many little things can go wrong before we start sweating?
Another preemptive pat on the brow
Another crisis compacted with sound
