Lyrics
I feel knotted up today,
But in a most exquisite way
Like neckties or like macramé,
Bowlines and zeppelin bends.
If you were a theremin,
I wouldn't know where to begin;
My hands would stay here on my chin
With a hum that never ends.
This suit doesn't fit me,
I made it myself, counterfeitly,
With buttons of blue
Killing me with déjà vu.
It's a gift for you.
- When I escape at last,
- When enough time has passed.
- But something keeps me as a pet:
- The only house that's not on fire yet.
- I made it when I was an architect.
- This is just the side effect.
I feel strangely regular,
But honestly, I prefer it to
The usual bizarre.
Damn that oxymoron.
If you were a piece of dust,
I'd shine a light through the busted window
And I'd learn to trust
In the updraft that you're on.
Click! Click! Auto-focus!
The film's in the can like hocus-pocus.
A picture of you
Killing me with déjà vu.
- Don't know what I'll do when I escape at last,
- When the end of time has passed.
- But something keeps me as a pet:
- The only house that's not on fire yet.
- I made it when I was an architect.
- This is just the side effect.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
The punch line is that there is no punch line.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
The punch line is that there is no punch line.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
The punch line is: there is no punch line.
Oh! I just thought of how to change all the hate
Into love with the old switcheroo
Dancing in my déjà vu.
You'll be dancing, too.
- When I escape at last,
- When the future is the past.
- But something keeps me as a pet:
- The only house that's not on fire yet.
- The only house that's not on fire yet.
- The only house that's not on fire yet.
- The only house that's not on fire (yet).
