 Lyrics
 He's a what He's a what
 He's a newspaper man
 and he gets his best ideas
 From a newspaper stand;
 From his boots to his pants
 To his comments and his rants
 He knows that any little article will do
 Though he expresses some confusion
 'bout his part in the plan,
 and he can't understand
 That he's not in command;
 The decisions underwritten
 by the cash in his hand
 Bought a sweater for
 His weimariner too
 Now I'm no madman,
 but that's insanity
 Feast before famine,
 and more before family
 Goes and shows up with
 More bowls and more
 Cups and the riot for the
 Last hot meal erupts
 Corrupts his hard drive
 Through the leanest months
 Shells out the hard cash
 For the sickest stunts;
 on aftershave, on gasoline
 He flips the page and turns
 The scene
 In my mind I'm drowning butterflies
 Broken dreams and alibis;
 That's fine---.
 I've seen my palette blown
 To monochrome-
 Hollow heart
 Clicks hollowtone,
 It's time---.
 Eye on authority,
 Thumb prints a forgery
 Boy, ain't it crazy what the
 Lights can do
 For counterfeit community;
 Every opportunity
 Wasted as the space
 Between the flash tattoo
 and the half-hearted hologram,
 Posed for the party
 Now he gloss full bleed
 On a deaf dumb tree
 Cod liver dollar signs,
 Credit card autograph
 Down for the record
 but not for freedom
 Angry young mannequin
 American, apparently
 Still to the rhythm
 Better get to the back of me
 Can't stand the vision,
 Better tongue the anatomy
 Gold plated overhead,
 Blank transparency
 in the days of old,
 You were a nut
 Now you need three bumps
 Before you cut
 Not that I should care about,
 Nothing I ain't scared of, but
 I guess you had
 To
 Be
 There.
 In my mind I'm breeding butterflies,
 Broken dreams, and alibis;
 That's fine---.
 I've seen my palette
 Blown to monochrome
 Hollow heart
 Clicks hollowtone
 in time---.
 I see you figured in your action pose
 Foam-injected axl rose,
 Life size
 Should something shake you
 and you drop the news,
 Lord, just keep your dancing shoes
 Off mine

Lyrics

He's a what He's a what
He's a newspaper man
and he gets his best ideas
From a newspaper stand;
From his boots to his pants
To his comments and his rants
He knows that any little article will do

Though he expresses some confusion
'bout his part in the plan,
and he can't understand
That he's not in command;
The decisions underwritten
by the cash in his hand
Bought a sweater for
His weimariner too

Now I'm no madman,
but that's insanity
Feast before famine,
and more before family
Goes and shows up with
More bowls and more
Cups and the riot for the
Last hot meal erupts
Corrupts his hard drive
Through the leanest months
Shells out the hard cash
For the sickest stunts;
on aftershave, on gasoline
He flips the page and turns
The scene

In my mind I'm drowning butterflies
Broken dreams and alibis;
That's fine---.
I've seen my palette blown
To monochrome-
Hollow heart
Clicks hollowtone,
It's time---.

Eye on authority,
Thumb prints a forgery
Boy, ain't it crazy what the
Lights can do
For counterfeit community;
Every opportunity
Wasted as the space
Between the flash tattoo

and the half-hearted hologram,
Posed for the party
Now he gloss full bleed
On a deaf dumb tree
Cod liver dollar signs,
Credit card autograph
Down for the record
but not for freedom

Angry young mannequin
American, apparently
Still to the rhythm
Better get to the back of me
Can't stand the vision,
Better tongue the anatomy
Gold plated overhead,
Blank transparency
in the days of old,
You were a nut
Now you need three bumps
Before you cut
Not that I should care about,
Nothing I ain't scared of, but
I guess you had
To
Be
There.

In my mind I'm breeding butterflies,
Broken dreams, and alibis;
That's fine---.
I've seen my palette
Blown to monochrome
Hollow heart
Clicks hollowtone
in time---.

I see you figured in your action pose
Foam-injected axl rose,
Life size
Should something shake you
and you drop the news,
Lord, just keep your dancing shoes
Off mine
