Living breathing human beings
Inhabit my periphery
In glorious passivity
I am surrounded
All of them have names and faces
Loving friends and close relations
Secrets kept in sordid places
Don't you tell a soul
Living breathing human beings
Are sucking all my energy
With coughing fits a eulogy
Will be in order
With blame alive like crooked teeth
The gaps aflame with subtlety
And men on trial for sodomy
We're moving backwards
Oh the kitchen sink
Will bring together everything
Oh the bathroom floor
And who could ask for more
Living breathing human beings
Are walking, running, hurrying
On paper routes and studying
We're so much smarter
Adding to our knowledge bases
Learning facts to get us places
Building our own brand new nation
Let my people go
Oh the kitchen sink
Will bring together everything
Oh the bathroom floor
And who could ask for more
Living breathing human beings
Are passed out in pools of anything
Drowned in words and cycling
Through cartoon movies
I remember everything
That anybody says to me
So I burn CDs to give for free
Oh the kitchen sink
Will bring together everything
Oh the bathroom floor
And who could ask for more

Is the album title a little Cursive nod?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like the song, but it seems to me to be a serious departure from your typical lyrical style. Am I crazy or no?
