Worthless Thing |
| How many times can you jump out of the cupboard |
| Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered |
| You can live forever in a split second of fame |
| Come on down the price is right whats your name |
| While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his coat |
| I cant change whats written on your face tonight and I quote |
| Oh I wish you could see |
| Quite how much you could mean to me You worthless thing |
| If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome |
| I might pay this kings ransom |
| You worthless thing |
| They commit blue murder along union avenue |
| Then they sell you souvenir matches |
| Nightclubs full of grave robbers from memphis, tennessee |
| And las vegas body snatchers |
| And hes carrying a warning cant you see how his eyes glint |
| Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint |
| All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters |
| Do you know how tall he was cos that is all that really matters? |
| Do you know his mothers last name do you think that hes divine? |
| Youve seen the film youve read the book |
| Youre drinking vintage elvis presley wine |
| Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large |
| Theyll cut her down to size on television |
| Shes available and beautiful, but with more time to devote |
| Theyre going to take this cable now and stick it down your throat |
| So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting |
| For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten |
