A Man of Science |
Ah! |
But the glorious shine of a polished tongue |
Have you been up practicing all night long? |
Your mouth forms chords and arpeggiates |
At first it’s sweet but then it nauseates |
Have you been up sweating this all night long? |
At the crack of dawn you’re out again to show the world just where you stand |
You dressed in your good suit today |
Polished your shoes for such an occasion… |
Pressed your shirt and slicked your hair |
Straighten that tie! |
Now get out there! |
Get out there! |
The tile is burning through your rubber soles |
Your sweat is beading, forming tiny pools |
You’ve been pacing and you’re scaring the shit out of your kids |
There’s white foaming up in the corners of your mouth |
The neighbor kids are laughing and pointing at your house |
Your wife’s ashamed |
She’s pulling all the blinds |
You’d think you’d get the picture after time after time after time |
Your roof is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech… |
Oh my science! |
He’s on the roof again! |
Citing scripture and throwing up his |
hands |
They said «I don’t think he’s coming down. |
Face it, I don’t think he’s coming |
down!» |
«Does he think he’s conducting some great orchestra? |
Cause he’s waving his hands» and I can’t help singing but saying: |
«Oh my science! |
He’s on the roof again! |
Citing scripture and throwing up his hands |
Dear science he’s on the roof again! |
Citing scripture and throwing up his hands.» |
He’s not missing a beat hitting every note |
Not discouraged by sharp fingers |
You dressed your good suit today |
Polished your shoes, oh what a waste |
Pressed your shirt and slicked your hair |
And all you got were empty stares… |
