Lyrics
Urban enzyme digest slowly
Urban life undergoes gradual transformation
Eating crust and crouton wholly
Eating hard outer layers and small pieces of bread entirely
Cut up news with froth and frolic
Slicing through news with excitement and playful energy
Hero doomed and alcoholic
A hero destined for failure and struggling with alcoholism
Not a picture prized or pretty
Not an image that is highly valued or attractive
Burning engines in the city
Burning engines within the urban landscape
Not a word now could be tainted
No spoken words can now be corrupted or tainted
When ivory teeth come golden plated
When pristine teeth turn into gold-plated
Running frowning waving madly
Running with a serious expression, waving frantically
Came from nothing returning gladly
Originating from nothing and returning with joy
He said strip, strip, shout it out
Commanding to undress, express it loudly
You've done me over, now let me out
Feeling deceived, now release me
The bastard son of, the bastard son of you know who.
The illegitimate child of someone well-known
Flashes lighten grime and gravy
Brief moments illuminate dirt and sauce
Instant when it's bright and maybe
Occurrences when it's illuminated and perhaps
Happiness will someday bite
Happiness will eventually have an impact
From eating star beams in the night
Derived from consuming beams of stars in the night
Crunch it chew it spit it out
Criticize it, chew it, and then spit it out
Strip the flesh and suck it out
Remove the skin and extract its essence
Between the teeth of envy plain
Among the envy, bits of the universe emerge
Come bits of cosmos fire and rain
Cosmic fragments manifest as fire and rain
Will you ever know how it feels
Questioning if one will ever experience the emotions
No mother or father to depend upon
No parents to rely on
Will you ever know how it feels
Questioning if one will ever experience the emotions
To be alone in this world - all alone
To be completely alone in this world
