Falsetto |
February swings my timeline |
From worry to despair |
It’s only been two weeks and there’s a lifetime |
Of friendships to repair between America and everybody else |
'Cause Froggy went a courtin' and he thinks it went well |
Says «Buddy, if you say it didn’t, you can go to -- |
With your movies and your marches |
Your speeches and your silly songs |
And your girly falsetto |
Girly falsetto falling from the highest heights |
And the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics…» |
I try to look away from my timeline |
But I see it everywhere |
Another diatribe |
In 140 characters to stare at wondering when he’s gonna crack |
'Cause Froggy thinks his whistle is the Liberty Bell |
Says «Buddy, if you say it isn’t, you can go to -- |
With your viva la resistance, your facts, and your stupid songs |
And your girly falsetto |
Girly falsetto falling from the highest heights |
And the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics 'cause |
Everything is going great you should be super psyched |
Don’t tell it like it is |
Don’t tell it like it was |
Just tell it like I want it to be |
Don’t tell it like it is |
Don’t tell it like it was |
I try to brighten up my timeline |
With Roger’s 18th slam |
I’m so enamored of him |
God above can’t hit his ground strokes with that kind of grace -- |
«Shut up and sing in falsetto |
Sing in falsetto falling from the highest heights |
Like the ribbons running through your vibey vintage mics |
'Cause everything is going great you should be super psyched |
Put the false in falsetto |
Let your voice go gentle into this good night |
The further up it goes the faster it can fall in line |
You entertainers need to keep the entertainment light |
Don’t tell it like it is |
Entertainers better keep the entertainment light |
Don’t tell it like it was |
Entertainers better keep the entertainment light |
Just tell it like I want it to be |
Don’t tell it like it is |
Entertainers better keep the entertainment light |
Don’t tell it like it was |
Entertainers better keep the entertainment light |
Just tell it like I want it to be" |
I put the false in falsetto |
Let my voice go gentle into this goodnight |
