No one wants to hear about your 97th tear [00:00:06]
So dry your eyes or let it go uncried my dear [00:00:10]
I am all out of love to mouth into your ear [00:00:15]
And not above letting a love song disappear before it's written [00:00:20]
And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon[00:00:31]
That was seen shooting from the window of your room [00:00:35]
To be a spot against the sky's colossal gloom and land deflated [00:00:40]
In some neighbor state that's strewn with 99 others [00:00:47]
8 Chinese brothers[00:00:53]
Well there's a reason why the last is smiling wide[00:01:01]
And sitting higher than the others [00:01:05]
Swinging his arms [00:01:08]
You would probably die before you shot up 9 miles high [00:01:14]
Your eyes dilated as light plays upon the sight[00:01:19]
Of TVC one-six as it sings you goodnight [00:01:23]
Relaxed as hell and locked up in cell 45 [00:01:27]
I hope you're feeling better [00:01:32]
The 51st way to leave your lover [00:01:36]
Admittedly doesn't seem to be as gentle[00:01:43]
Or as clean as all the others [00:01:47]
Leaving its scars [00:01:50]
All in the after hours of some Greenpoint bar [00:01:53]
I told you I can't listen baby [00:02:01]
About the 4th time you were a lady [00:02:03]
And how your forthrightness betrayed a secret shyness [00:02:06]
Stripped away by days of being hailed as Your Highness [00:02:08]
And what's new pussycat is that you were once a lioness[00:02:16]
They cut your claws out [00:02:21]
Kitten not everyone's keen on lighting candle 17 [00:02:25]
The party's done The cake's all gone The plates are clean [00:02:30]
The chauffeur's leering from the cheerless mezzanine [00:02:35]
And in just 1 year the straight world can pay to see[00:02:40]
What they have been missing [00:02:44]
You were caught kissing 8 Chinese brothers [00:02:50]
But there's a reason why the last is smiling wide[00:02:55]
And sitting higher than the others stinking with charm [00:02:59]
And he says Let's get lost Let them send out alarms [00:03:08]
He says Let's get crossed out and come to harm [00:03:15]
Let's make the world's stupidest stand and truly mean it [00:03:20]
Let's hit the limit of laws over lovers' arms - no let's exceed it[00:03:26]
