Thought I could walk away
without another word
But all I didn't say
negated what you heard
I don't know what to tell you, man
I don't know what to tell you
Zoomed in on the throne
Suitors come in droves
to supplant some incumbent
But through those greedy eyes
they can't recognize
the court was never open
After the musical
(a couple sour notes)
I wouldn't even try
to read the book you wrote
I don't know what to tell you, man
I don't know what to tell you
The statues that have turned to sand
They must have spoken volumes
How bad could it be
to spend eternity
thinking about nothing?
But during all those years
the truth had been concealed
buried underwater
I must tell you
I can't have your
crimes on my behalf
I have told you
myriad times now
Don't make me again
Can't you just leave it alone?
(Can't you just drop it?)
Can't we just move on from this?
(Can you be cool for five minutes?)

Thomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet. OK Glass
