Perfect Nonsense
Lyrics
We walk out in the morning with umbrellas on our eyes
To keep us dry and dangerous just in case somebody cries
We dust off faded photographs of lovers in disguise
Then dice them in a blender and then bake them into lies
Carry them to work with us like ancient tools of trade
A suitable foundation when there's a profit to be made
Build ourselves financial prisons to insure we're always free
And it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense to me
Our strange affairs are like dancing bears, climbing up the stairs
Halfway, now, to paradise, toting camping chairs
Tucked beneath our furry arms; we go where no one dares
Each step another journey, a suit of clothes nobody wears
We climb and climb for days and nights, our thighs are getting sore
Survive, wake up alive, and find we're on a lower floor
The things we worked so hard to buy, when we die they hand out free
And it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense to me
We fall in love; it picks us up, it drops us down again
Alone we stand, upon one hand, with papers, poems, and pens
Our hats falls off, we start to cough, while losing all our friends
We kiss the ground, and hear the sounds of roosters speaking hen
Then find our feet like seasoned meat, sizzling and red
Rare, well done, and lots of fun; especially in bed
Proximity eventually must breed dichotomy
And it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense to me
Moses, Job, and Noah thinking in the danger zone
While Jesus and Barabbas try to find some time alone
Adam, Eve, and Abraham eat pizza on the phone
Say a prayer for underwear, and those that bitch and moan
In the emptiness of all that's blessed and hollow empty verse
The lights come on; the sacred dawn is dancing in reverse
The Priest says that there's just one God; the nun says that he's three
And it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense
Yes it all makes perfect nonsense to me
