lyrics

"we'd like to see your swine blood pooling around our feet
what a grave oversight you've made
don't try to be the final word on the subject!"
cried the beeves to the schitzo butcher

something made me cut my hair last night
shone upon me like a guiding light
tried to beat it back with all of my might
i had a seizure, woke up in a fright

drew a border 'round the marquee moon
drew a box around the tv too
i see billy in the back, steel blue,
got the neon dripping down my shoe

i'm turning into tom verlaine

i only made it 'cause my daddy's rich
and my mamma looks like patti smith
your opportunity to find a little niche
is such a scam and everyone's a snitch

something made me cut my hair last night
shone upon me like a guiding light
tried to beat it back with all of my might
i had a seizure, woke up in a fright

i'm turning into tom verlaine
