lyrics

I was a temporary man
In the eternal city
I worked pretty hard to survive
I get good stuff if I can
But i’ve had enough
It’s a rough time to be alive

And its all crumbling grandeur
I demand a halt
I’m just a regular man
In the puzzle of this town
I guzzle the next drink down

The engines of kings
The songs that she sings
The smiles on all their stupid faces
The places I run but nobody home
The motors of queens
The rotors and sheen
And the lies in all their turgid dreams
Its seems I fly but I’m too shy

Well I drove the removal van
When things went missing
Everybody guessing it was me
And I deliver when I can
The river and the seas
Haven’t started to freeze
And its all dirty washing
Just keep sloshing it down
Because I’m just a regular man
In the zoo of a jungle
I fumble the prophecy

The ponies and dogs
The phonies and the cogs
And the fog upon all their dim ideas
I hear its nice out but im all diced up

The ponces and tools
Ensconced in the schools
The subtle subtext of their extra sexting
Im expecting rain but my app says more pain

Billie darling, bring me lolly
Because I love you
