The Standard Model Part One Or Once Upon A Time On Planet Earth Break a finger, Fix a string. Where to begin? I am the king of my own Hell, I’ll never tell, Doing so well. I try to take a fall Their amusement says it all I try to fake a fall Their amusement says it all I like my summers days, I try to trim the edges. I like the sunny rays, Helps to grow my veggies. Hard to find complaint, Sitting in my Eden, It’s so fucking great, Everything is breeding. I am on my own. I’ll never take it slow, I’ll never be a no show, I’ll never take advice From anyone but stage 5. I’ll never settle down, Never be the young team. Doubt I’ll wear a crown, Or start saying umpteen. I’ll never phone a friend To be a millionaire. Waterfalls cleanse the soul, Paper skin sucks it in, Naive pores, Swinging doors Revolve Automatic. Have some more, Have some more, Revolve Automatic. I feel super, Like I used to. Please don’t look so cross, man, You’re not my fucking Bossman. Angel Delight! Dead of the night! My white thief will rescue me, Maybe. My white thief, Save me! Could’ve been a dealer, Could’ve been soldier If I’d listened to you. I could’ve gotten older. Could’ve been a film star, Could’ve been a leader. If I’d wanted to I could’ve been a contender! Could’ve been a dealer If I’d listen to you. Could’ve been a film star If I’d wanted to. Waste of Spacetime, Getting older, Science over Atlas’s Shoulder. Waste of Space Time. Seraphim calling… Cherubim calling… Seraphim calling, Don’t care if it’s midday or night. Cherubim call in And fall at my feet, Keep hope alive. Seraphim calling at me, I can’t hide. Cherubim crawling… Could’ve been a dealer, Could’ve been soldier, If I’d listened to you. I could’ve gotten older. Could’ve been a film star, Could’ve been a leader, If I’d wanted to I could’ve been a contender. I like my summers days, I try to trim the edges. I like the sunny rays, Helps to grow my veggies. Hard to find complaint, Sitting in my Eden. It’s so fucking great, Everything is breeding. I am on my own. I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home 12345 I’m going home Come inside for a while, Underground, It’s called living for free- Off the grid, Secret. You’ll be living with me, Understand one thing, You’ll be living for me. Happily waiting, Finally whelk-ened, Like I’ve been waiting for you, Patiently, So fucking long. Where have you been? Now that you’re home Don’t ever leave me on my own. Don’t go again. Gone with a win Late ’69 Guess who arrives? Turns up again? You. Out of the blue. ‘72, no Christmas March ’85 I ask you why you’re leaving me So often? Deeply you sighed, Wiping my eyes dry You replied, You’re boring, Dull and annoying, Selfish, Ignorant, Worthless and broken. Lonely and alone. I’m going home I’m going home 1234 I’m going home Open up that big window I’m going home 12 I’m going home Just as soon as I feel better 12345 I’m going home Just as soon as I feel better 12345 I’m going home Just as soon as I feel better I’m going home I like my summers days, I try to trim the edges. I like the sunny rays, Helps to grow my veggies. Hard to find complaint, Sitting in my Eden. It’s so fucking great, Everything is breeding. I am on my own. So Nice to meet you, Sunshine. If I had my time again, I’d surely get to know you better. It’s such a tease, This one life. Half the time will pass you by Before you’ve even had a chance. And on that final pirouette Around this massive orb, The one true God We call The Sun, Feel no remorse and no regret. You got to own it, man, You got to fucking own it. Finish what you started, You got to fucking own it. Finish what you started. Call yourself an artist? Put some fucking heart in. Finish what you started.
