lyrics

You can discipline the simian all you want
But it won't ever speak your language.
And no amount of talk talk talk can change
What it'll take to learn a lesson.
I made you such an angel, oh that halo effect
It stretched as far as it would go now
To a monkey with a head that's full of mush
I'm just a monkey with a head full of mush now...

You wave your goodbyes like they're magic wands
Nothing really disappears
It just gets blurry in your drunken haze
Kill the bottle, black out, and pull the drapes
What did you really escape?

That's when I put our remaining flame
Right up to the gasoline tank
To ignite again or just go way
Sky high into lethal rain
Turn the rest to lethal rain
Coming down on this damn city
What a pity, what a shame....

Give no chase, replace whatever we once were
Pass go, collect 200 dollars
You'll go 'round n 'round that circle again --
I won't bear the burden of caring.
Three cheers for the sooner we move on
That's the sooner we feel better
Better than wasting our precious time just trying
To put a Humpty Dumpty back together

And my love is MINE - I pay all its bills
So it bends to my will.
It comes from me, so it only makes sense
That I could take it back again
Excuse me while I take it back again....

That's when I put our remaining flame
Right up to the gasoline tank
To ignite again or just go way
Sky high into lethal rain
Turn the rest to lethal rain
Coming down on this damn city
What a pity, what a shame.
