- Lyrics:
Verse:
Appendages flailing, you're running at me
Ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me
The devious gelatin holding me fast
Miraculous now you let me ooze past.
Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze
The tip of stalactites incising my knees
A slipper, a sand-dollar day at the shore
Nice evening at home that I dread even more
Chorus:
Would you please make clear to me
I'm peering out through your opacity
Though you rehearse tomorrow's verse
Forgive me if I don't sing in your key.
Verse:
Look back on those days when my life was a haze
The gelatin lay on a truncated slate
Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank
The freemasons crank to the overflow tank
Bane of the weasel, fur biting is fun
Jump on the turnstile and watch me go round
Swim with the cactus and float with the stone
I try to convey what you strive to condone
CHORUS:
Chorus/Outro:
Would you please [no left turn unstoned]
make clear to me [when you see me]
Why nothing is the first thing that I see
And if you do and I see you
Then you will be the nothing left for me
