Oscar Wilde (Came Here to Make Fun of You)

I bought fertilizer and brake fluid Who in the hell am I supposed to trust? Sympathy ends in gas chambers Oklahoma City shoulda been enough Bought us a four wheel drive Mama, you go get the gun We'll pack all these postcards Sell what's left and run The giving of blood begets the drawing of it by thieves Things will get interesting now, I was holding onto you You let go of me Oscar Wilde came here to make fun of you To dress well and play bridge Why the hell can't I do the same? Who are these architects of indifference? All I hear are helicopters Threshing the pale sky Shining their lights and flying low Treating us like we're criminals Man, I, I'd rather be deemed a criminal (oh) Than be a player in this nocturnes (oh) Preludes to dyin' in my sleep (oh) In another sunburned country of greed (oh) Swifter than any shadow, shorter than any dream (oh) Sauvage crowds swirl beneath bare trees The thorny truth is growing sharp I relive that season in hell Tryin' to eulogize the dark With the wind now at our heels The noose and whip won't be far behind So go on and reel off all your requiems I'm done cryin' We kneel before you, drunk pale and insane Looking for an exit sign from this senseless game When the forest of the night Has been torched and is burning bright What immortal hand or eye Give a damn enough to cry Everyday is like huffing lighter fluid Take me to Reading Gaol with Oscar Wilde, I'll used to it Lock me up in Clerkenwell Prison, I'll blow a hole right through it Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, dodo-dodo If I didn't have to hustle all these second-hand stories Some sick need to dance to 'em This wouldn't be a joke Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, dodo-dodo Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, dodo-dodo Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, dodo-dodo Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, dodo-dodo
