lyrics

We have a lot to talk about you damned gray matter
You fell into the trap and now the cats grow fatter
It's too late to say you're sorry too
Iodize the wounds because the battle is over
Romanticize the fools because the heart is sober
Break your three-part harmony in two

All the effervescent shooting stars flood the black light shine
A shimmering and glimmering lemon-lime
Never-pleasant brooding scars evaporate in time
In this polystyrene life of mine

Pop the pimple, stop the Simple Simon's saying
Drop the easel, realize the sky needs painting
Purple clouds of orange amplitude

Breathe in all that you believe
It is so serene, tastes like polystyrene

Congressmen converting on a teeter-totter
Senators are splurging on the freak-out fodder
Muckrake gray duck in forgotten lore
Cross the teeth and dot the eyes of "indecision"
Lost your heart and hope to die of malnutrition
Fruits of labor rotten to the core

And the effervescent shooting stars flood the black light shine
A shimmering and glimmering lemon-lime
Never-pleasant brooding scars evaporate in time
In this polystyrene life of mine

Forget the fix of all the tricks your mind is playing
Rearrange this strange place I'm sick of staying
Dream away with all your earthly dues

Breathe in all that you believe
It is so serene, tastes like polystyrene
