lyrics

Hang me from a mouse trapeze Nothing left to break my fall Icing on the birthday cake Tastes like ash and Geritol I’ve fallen for the setting sun Prophylactics block the view Thirty-thousand wretched souls evaporate Can’t question all your social taboo You disintegrate my heart The Captain’s here so why am I? Stowaways dress chickens in drag Setting soon the silver moon Prune the feelings of the fag Rabbits race on empty lies Turtles trip on trillions of trials Sitting across an empty room How can fifteen feet feel like millions of miles? You disintegrate my heart
