Metamorphosis

Lyrics by：John Grant

Composed by：John Grant

Acid trips and glugs of gravy

You transformed there is no maybe

Glaciers caffeine have you met the smiler

Married to the nothingness

Don't tell Granny Kyler

Fourteen-year-old boy rapes eighty-year-old man

Tickets to the Met

Sweet corn from the can

Baby's in the whitest house

Playing with his toys

Earthquakes forest fires hot Brazilian boys

67 yogurt flavors

Which one do you want

Can't decide on toothpaste

Emmanuel Kant

Do you really think they don't know what they're doing

Everything was okay

Someone needed screwing

Yeast infection

Synthesizers

Demi-semi-quavers

Who created ISIS

Emotional blackmail

She knows what I mean

Broccoli with cheese sauce

How long you been clean

Clean clean clean clean clean clean clean

Clean clean clean clean clean clean clean

Clean clean clean clean clean clean clean

As I enjoy distraction

She just slipped away

It didn't seem to matter

How much she had prayed

They took her in an ambulance

And that is where she died

And still until up to this very day

I don't think I have cried

About life's selfishness

My self-absorption

Questions left unanswered

Spiritual extortion

And in my dreams

Her face is vague

A mere suggestion

And when I wake I can't remember

Why I'm feeling sad

A new shooting

Fresh for breakfast

This one's in Florida not in Texas

Manchurian candidate

To subconscious trigger

Have you seen the remake

I have to watch my figure

Lemon Bismarck doughnut

That won't hurt now won't it

Tiki bar rat souffle

You agree on Marvin Gaye

Sylvia Sylvia

Would not take the garbage out

Now just look what you've done

Your delicious secrets out

Whirla whip bloodlust

Who do you think you can trust

Empire crumble calculated stumble

Are you ready for your black awakening

You're not gonna wear that

Are you Dr Freak and thing

Do you know what they did that faithful night on Jekyll island

Rockefeller salad

Sandy Duncan smiling

It's almost as if you always knew what's coming

Hark into the wind

You can hear that fate is drumming
