Lyrics
Break the bank
Waiting for the shit to hit
Linger blink, two-trice elapsed:
You earn cheap penitence
Quid pro quo
Teeters midway on this balance-beam
Spans twain rooftops high-as-hell:
Aloft grotesquerie
Launder hangman-money
Pick up an iron at the five-and-dime
Mantra-mouths fed scraps of scraps:
Licked 'heir bankrupt pride
Practiced plight, poor troglodytes
Checkmate their make-believe
Kaleidoscopic endgame:
Priceless dream
Feckless philistines' contrivance:
Apocryphal refrain,
Which would read:
"Plain speech is the woolen aspect
That makes prosaic such figures-of-speech
As hard times fall upon our brethren,
They beseech....."
"Cloaked words are the finespun raiment
That 'guise the wise as enlightening
As long lines form to gawk at waxwork
Household names....."
Changeling's chiseled creaseless countenance:
Sphinx-grin curls up Mona Lisa lips
Blithe denials' chiming doublespeak;
Paucity of sentience beneath:
Never seen.....
