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 |
