Track 5 from CD 'Adagio For Piranhas' by Patrick Porter
lyrics
DEATH BY CONSOLATION
Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011
Don't come looking for me
I've turned into a businessman
I'm bricking up the factory
I'm bowing to a master plan
You've got to blink before your eyes are closed
You've got to switch it like the TV shows
You've got to tie it to the back of a boat
You've got to starve a man until it chokes
Don't come calling for me
I've got this paperwork to do
I'm building an atomic bomb
Detonating it in your hairdo
You've got to blink before your eyes are closed
You've got to switch it like the TV shows
You've got to tie it to the back of a boat
You've got to starve a man until it chokes
I go into a paper city
Go to make a trade
I got a broken alphabet
I got a paper trail, I'm on the make
You got it
You lost it
I'm flying in a paper plane
You know I got a discount rate
I'm spitting on the clouds
I got a paper trail, I'm on the make
You got it
You lost it
Don't come looking for me
I've turned into the Berlin Wall
Don't write silly things on me
Don't put my crumbs in your box
You've got to blink before your eyes are closed
You've got to switch it like the TV shows
You've got to tie it to the back of a boat
You've got to starve a man until it chokes
