When the city's blinking lights hit the pavement
And the coronary veins pump the floor
All the visitors are long gone
Away from home
When a redeeming Goliath is broken
And a stationary burden unloads
It's a feeling that goes on and on
Until it's gone
Take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
Self-inflicted power-crazed infectious whore
I found a ticket to the station
But I couldn't climb aboard
So take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
When the crows turn their nests into slumbers
Critters barf on vogue magazines
Altar wine makes you drunk, drunk
You're outta luck
When textbooks moms light their candles
For their wisecrackin', goose steppin' sons
All the literature is gone, gone
Out of this world
Take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
Self-inflicted power-crazed infectious whore
I found a ticket to the station
But I couldn't climb aboard
So take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
Take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
Self-inflicted power-crazed infectious whore
I found a ticket to the station
But I couldn't climb aboard
So take a picture now, ridiculous man of yore
