Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 - The Authority Box lyrics

The Authority Box and the headgrenade Love is in the blade Noone ever touches Everybody watches everyone When the spoilt child Hits middle age Wants to turn the page The page is stuck with blood And you know whose blood it is 'That will do nicely' Step this way sir After you' I call your name but you don't hear me I call your name But you're nowhere near me anyway Sweet 53 My pink is red Unscrew my head Failure rips into my 'you're too old for this' With your vanity on So dual key So freedom fries So Texas vow You and your wife have teeth alive, now haven't you? Figure I know your love is nothing personal I call your name But you don't hear me anyway When the sun goes down I'm a lonely boy with a lonely kiss Say what you like about this But I'll never ever bother you I'm stepping out of my disease with a CEO and a budget horn You just married a guy who didn't know it yet Nothing wrong with failure Everybody does it Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Ah f** me I'm a trolley bus Yeah f** me--I'm a trolley bus Whoah f** me--I'm a trolley bus
