lyrics

Tortured Bozos

Tortured bozos oozing ozone into the living room rug
Bringing hope to a dying atmosphere
Don't know where they came from
But I'm glad they're here

Rusted seahorse swimming in my favorite swill
Making faces at my silly Spanish maid
Don't be alarmed, miss
I'm just here to read the meter today

That's the way the clip clop sounds
Spinning through my hemispheres
The charge goes round and round
Echoing the wailings of the shag-bound tortured clowns
They want to swing, but there are no trees to be found

When I was little, I knew a place where no birds sang
'Twas quite peculiar talking with the chilling winds
They told me why I was in orbit 'round a yellow star
And what made me different from all of my friends
And why the fun never seems to end

And they said, in a while you get used to it
The whispered hush of morning
When you know that you are sleeping
Creeping like a shadow through the windows in the sky
No one says goodbye 'cause they never know you
No one says goodbye 'cause they never know you've
No one says goodbye 'cause they never know you've died
How can you even tell of what words cannot describe
How can the caterpillar understand the butterfly
