Enola Gay |
| He didn’t give you that nickname |
| But you smile when he calls you the Enola Gay |
| Turns the lights down low for your migraines |
| And fetches what you’ve strewn |
| All around the room up and down the hall |
| Asking for your Sodium Pentathol |
| So you can read aloud from your big tell-all |
| Anecdotes in platitudes |
| This world’s mean getting meaner too |
| So why’d you have to make it all about you |
| There’s no harm in stepping to the side |
| Light your hurricane lamp when the sky grows dark |
| The wind’s pissed off and the sun’s at large |
| What you’ve gotta do, it’s just a matter of pride |
| Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind |
| Working all day in the control room |
| Mashing Charles Manson songs up with Showtunes |
| The feelings come quick but they leave as soon |
| Like music from a passing car |
| It’s crowded in the club where you meet your friends |
| Try to save some room for the elephant |
| Every day’s a chore and you’re not done yet |
| You didn’t think it’d be this hard |
| The root’s begun, we’re a nervous crew |
| So why’re you trying to make it all about you |
| It’s not so bad, it’s just a flash of light |
| Light your hurricane lamp when the sky goes dark |
| The rain’s upset, it just falls apart |
| You will get your wish, it’s just a matter of time |
| Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight and out of mind |
| Until you vanish like the rest, out of sight |
