Quietly, seeking annihilation
Life’s tangy, for, a moment – then forgotten
Why is she, in love with me
Can’t she see, that I am rotten
<CHORUS>
Her life, is, vast, her, life, is, small
The moonlight on the water, is gleaming
The years, they pass, in no, time, at, all
(The) meaning of life is to give, your life meaning
A little man, lives alone, in a cabin, in the woods
On his birthday, he feeds ducks, in a tuxedo [break]
He’s extraordinarily attuned, to the comings, and the goings Of the ice, and the geese, and the light -- and the mosquitos
<CHORUS>
(So) many dreams, in the hallways of a vast hotel
(What I'm) trying, to reach, consistently -- is you [break] My holy land, is my grandmother's kitchen
(With) baloney, & Velveeta, on white bread, she said I love you
CHORUS
Look for the danger, and risk, in each, situation
Then let us, proceed, without, hesitation
Destiny, she, laughs, at, me
Such beautiful nonsense is self, immolation
CHORUS
