Crazed Institution
Celestial Reflections: Embracing the Crazed Institution of Self
Lyrics
Just a little touch of make-up, just a little touch of bull,
Using a bit of makeup and deceptive language.
just a little 3-chord trick embedded in your platform soul,
Employing a simple musical trick as part of a superficial identity.
you can wear a gold Piaget on your Semaphore wrist,
Wearing an expensive watch on the wrist with a signaling device (Piaget).
you can dance the old adage with a dapper new twist.
Dancing an old saying with a modern and stylish twist.
And you can ring a crown of roses round your cranium,
Symbolically adorning oneself with success and achievements.
live and die upon your cross of platinum.
Living and dying for material wealth and success.
Join the crazed institution of the stars.
Encouraging participation in the crazy world of celebrity and stardom.
Be the man that you think (know) you really are.
Aspiring to be the person one believes or knows oneself to be.
Crawl inside your major triad, curl up and laugh
Retreating into a familiar and safe musical structure.
as your agent scores another front page photograph.
Finding amusement as one's representative achieves media attention.
Is it them or is it you throwing dice inside the loo
Questioning whether it's fate or personal choice influencing outcomes.
awaiting someone else to pull the chain.
Passively waiting for someone else to take responsibility.
Well grab the old bog-handle, hold your breath and light a candle.
Taking control of a situation, using humor and symbolism.
Clear your throat and pray for rain to irrigate the corridors that echo in
Praying for inspiration or solutions to the emptiness in the mind.
your brain filled with empty nothingness, empty hunger pains.
Experiencing a mind filled with nothingness and unfulfilled desires.
And you can ring a crown of roses round your cranium,
Reiterating the symbolic adornment and attachment to success.
live and die upon your cross of platinum.
Emphasizing the devotion to material wealth and success.
Join the crazed institution of the stars.
Encouraging involvement in the chaotic world of fame.
Be the man that you think (know) you really are.
Reiterating the aspiration to be true to one's self-perceived identity.
