Lyrics

You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a Nova
Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star
Cheerful and swollen, he waves from his seat in a Rover
That is his car
You wouldn't doubt him to shake
The most powerful hands of importance
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink
To judge from the fence 'round his house
He must love all his children
And that's what you think
But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Makin' love to your kids
Is the last love that you will ever get
You're a vanishin' image of what I thought I knew
But it comes to show
That the man I know
Is kissing that cheek that she had
Lifted up for her forty first birthday
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
Now dog is a bird
But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Makin' love to your kids
Is the last love that you will ever get
You're a vanishin' image of what I thought I knew
It comes to show
That the man I know
Has a fadin' glow
In a white lampshade
Aye, hey
Tell me lampshade the truth, did you cover his soul?
Did you protect all the horrible?
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
What he's been carrying around
Tell me lampshade, what is it you're trying to hide
Under your stinky old corduroy?
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light
That I've been chokin' on always
There's a dog barkin' close within the range of my ear
Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if he could
But the chain lets me spit in his face
Like the dog has a chain clingin' tight to it's neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
But instead I'll remove this lampshade, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Remove this lampshade, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh
