Did you hear about the weather?
Did you hear about the bliss?
Did you know the war's not over?
Did you hear I’m getting sick?
Did you find that faded photo?
Weigh the corners down with bricks
The artist as a martyr
The artist as a d**k
Did you hear about Calypso?
Plucked his eyebrows like a thread
Tied him up and left him lying in her bed
Did you hear about the lighthouse?
Filled up with a million heads?
The door's open
Such a shame that they're all dead
They’re killing all the cattle
And breaking all thеir ribs
While I'm mulling over calendars for six
They’re killing all the cattle
And breaking all thеir ribs
While I'm mulling over calendars for six
They’re killing all the cattle (When I see you on the corner)
And breaking all thеir ribs (On the other side of the road)
While I'm mulling over calendars for six (I'll be waiting for you, the cat stands on my arm)
Fingеrs closing over nothing (When I see you on the corner)
My hand breaks off at the wrist (On the other side of the road)
& I tell you that I never meant it to get like this (I'll be waiting for you, the cat stands on my arm)
Let's find a quiet window (When I see you on the corner)
Where we can watch all of the wars (On the other side of the road)
Let's find a quiet place now (I'll be waiting for you, the cat)
Let's find some quiet (Stands on my arm)
Brush off your dirty mattress (When I see you on the corner)
While your hair's still caked with sand (On the other side of the road)
If the blanket stares up at me (I'll be waiting for you, the cat)
I'll stare back blankly (Stands on my arm)
