You dis the disconsolate.
You scream the words of dead people
into the ears of other dead people.
[CHORUS]
He offered you his umbrella.
You took it for a lifetime.
But it was just an umbrella.
You punch out the punch drunk.
You make light of helium,
and heavy issues of elephants.
[CHORUS]
Your August hair is short. Much shorter than most. And your January glasses make your June eyes white as a ghost.
But when the rain falls down on you, you can pretend it's drops of lemon.
And if you find you cannot move, you can pretend you're trapped in heaven.
You call your name collect.
You flinch at the furniture,
as it sits gathering dust.
[CHORUS]
