Phatic Radjic

from Dr. Des Moines by Skyscape

/

lyrics

Swallow your companion
And form a dusty disc
No one cares for this hot bastard
We observed its violent fits
Red giant, red giant
God boasts you’re the rings on his fists
Getting phatic
Shrinking phatic
In a room of painfully self-aware hypocrites

You can take me down but you can’t bring me down
You can knock me down but you can’t bring me down
You can hold me down but you can’t bring me down

I met a tugboat wastrel in irons
Cursing off the captain’s arms
Pockmarked son of a bitch
Commissioning a portrait
Don’t draw my eyes so wide, so gray
Don’t draw my eyes so wide, so gray
Squalor Mouthbutton, our loyal aide
Rots with the other men

You can take me down but you can’t bring me down
You can knock me down but you can’t bring me down
You can hold me down but you can’t bring me down

Wherever you are
There’s a place where the rain ain’t far
So it won’t be too late

You can take me down but you can’t bring me down
You can knock me down but you can’t bring me down
You can hold me down but you can’t bring me down

Eating breakfast with Terri Schiavo
Eating breakfast with Terri Schiavo
Eating breakfast with Terri Schiavo
In space
In space
