Why? - Ferriswheel lyrics

I saw you wheezing in the cut throat chorus, The tv has been on channel blue in your house for a week and a half, Sounding like a filtered carnival, Like screaming children on a ferriswheel... I saw you in the ghetto with your angel eyes poked out, On your hands and knees in cla** looking for your contact lenses... There are very few microwaves in the third world... What if you were tied to a flagpole In your underwear with your hair shaved off, And a bag of money hanging from your ankle? You could tan your scalp in the noon sun. You could feel the wind on your open chest. Against a blue sky, almost anything looks cinematic. If you can teach a dog to play the kazoo, If an ape can take an interest in his hairstyle, It only follows that you'd enjoy a morning jog in high heels While your dance shoe feet bleed.
