An Audience with You |
Your footman barred me from the door |
Said I couldnt see you no more |
Whats with this bureaucracy |
When I filled the forms you left for me Hes a loyal man who waits for you |
Where loyalty is such taboo |
Sixteen keyholes in one straight line |
I look through them from time to time |
The weather down your end looks fine |
But the forecasts grim down mine |
Im no gamble better understand |
I like to know the story plan |
People say I got no sense |
But Im waiting for an audience with you |
And all the wrestlers youve employed |
And all the boys with whom you toyed |
You tell me please dont get annoyed |
Youre behaving like some helen of troy |
I dont care for original sin |
Its a stupid world were living in Your paid assassin makes me wait |
He eats with fingers off his plate |
He says youve got a pressing date |
With r.i.ps and heads of state |
I know that he wont let me in Cos villains always have bad skin |
People say I got no sense |
But Im waiting for an audience with you |
A plastic surgeons your best friend |
Hes got the means to any end |
Hes so efficient, youre so vain |
So we wont see your face again |
Heaven knows how hard you tried |
Hell was such a bumpy ride |
The widow with the holy eyes |
Got a pistol strapped into her thighs |
Says youre as sweet as apple pie |
You only get so bitchy cos youre shy |
But thats a load of papal bull |
I put you on that pedestal |
People say I got no sense |
But Im waiting for an audience with you |
Give me the strength of hercules |
His fallen arches, water knees |
And please please let me be like I oughtta be Lost and lonely, hurt and happy |
With a singers vanity |
Now everything seems like a myth |
The strength that I have performed with |
Two thousand stairs and theres no lift |
Gonna get to the top and theres no if Whats for me when I get there |
Is it just wheelchairs and grey hair |
And never was one letter sent |
I told the truth but told it bent |
Thats the custom thats the law |
But dont ask me the reason for |
Im just a boy in love with you |
Im rejected by the things you do People say I got no sense |
But Im waiting for an audience with you |
