Effigy |
| If you come to find me affable |
| And build a replica for me |
| Would the idea to you be laughable |
| Of a pale facsimile |
| So when you come to burn an effigy |
| It should keep the flies away |
| When you learn to burn this effigy |
| It should be |
| For the hours that slip away, slip away |
| It could be you, it could be me |
| Working the door, drinking for free |
| Carrying on with your conspiracies |
| Filling the room with a sense of unease |
| Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone |
| Like the words of a man who’s spent a little too much time alone |
| When one has spent too much time alone… |
| So if you come to burn my effigy |
| It should keep the flies away |
| When you learn to burn an effigy it should be |
| Of a man whose lost his way, slips away |
| It could be you, it could be me |
| Working the door, drinking for free |
| Carrying on with your conspiracies |
| Filling the room with a sense of unease |
| Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone |
| Like the words of a man who’s spent a little too much time alone |
| When one has spent too much time alone… |
