lyrics

Coffee rolls and pigeonholes sucking out my breath
Like a stagecoach waiting to turn back into a pumpkin
I can wait, I've got nothing better to do today
Oh my, I see you're back in town, you've grown renowned
To wear that thing you call a hospital gown
But I guess I won't be seeing you around

I've tried my hardest just to make up a hit single
Despite my best efforts, all I could come up with
Is a detergent jingle, uh huh

Manic but not yet depressed, I think it's best
If you stay dressed, I'm calling in for backup
But my dial-o-gram is smashed to smithereens
That when gathered into a ball will one day
Take over the world and now I'm hunting with
My trusty smithereen gun to make them curl

Stop, stop the presses, my confession is that
I'm obsessed with entities from overseas
Who burn my knees to third degrees and such
I swear I'm only making fun of everyone under the sun
With just one line, is that a crime?
Wait, hold that thought, it's feeding time

You've been stung by the blighting bug
And you'll never write a worthwhile song again
Just take your bow and line up now
'Cause selling out is really cashing in
