Lyrics

Can you still hear me? Am I coming through just fine? I spy through the spirit of curiosity All the scandals of the famed monstrosity I doubt it, then I pry and I insinuate If a failure is great, then it tends to fascinate A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane Her letters felt like skittles in a ten-pin bowling lane But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame So you jump back with alarm Every Elvis has his army, every rattlesnake his charm Can you still hear me? Am I coming through just fine? Your memory was buried in this simple box of mine Revolving like a jeweled figure on a music box A spangled curtain parted and a nightclub scene unlocks Pin vixen fastened in a follow spot Arms thrown out to everyone, she's given all she's got To the last dash of a wounded standing on A tiny man is clawing to the ceiling fan with stolen feeling Amplified up through the busted speaker Blaring, blasting, advertising, distorting beyond reason Into the street where pensive grand-coat shadow panic drunkards Hop out of a taxi cab, the father sees my album He thought I was another lonely, likely pilgrim Looking for some fair moon So an artist tries to toothbrush what's the first thing that he sees And names the painting Christ identified in the purgatory Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence And paying off his stalker is a legitimate expense So pace up, pace out those shrill and hollow girls with puckered lips She's a trophy on your arm, a magnet for your money clip The moral of this story is a sorry tale to say That pins with links and chains so they can never run away Didn't you know I am the suicide? Didn't you know I am the suicide? Didn't you know I am the suicide?
