I am the last and the first
I am the best and the worst
I bridge the gap so you can walk
But I'm not supposed to talk

Can't shake these sins of grandeur
When I don't even know their names
I'll always be cool in your book
But never cruel enough

Stuck in this body-bag of skin
Vegetable smiles and grins
But bones always cast
Darker shadows than the flesh

What flavor is your marrow
How's your flying buttress castle
Is it filled with neon sparrows
Or dancing northern lights

Trip the light fantastic tango
Never be afraid to move
No matter how slow
No matter where you go
Don't want to be stuck
Reaching for the moon

Sorrow is pleasure played in reverse
Thirty-two bucks and a white leather purse
Serious ones have serious foes
Three pretty Mary's all in a row

Preserving oblivion
Friendship's in the past tense
Hallowed hollow strong straw men
Detox your polluted souls
Try to begin again
