lyrics

Mistakes were Made
To be born is a crime, so watch your phone and do your time
And when your bit is finished you might get your chance to shine
But if this blaze of glory is more gory than the stories
The algorithm indicated, all I can say is, that’s amore

Last night I heard the news: Agnus Dei (Opus Dei, Danny O’Day) is on the move
Should we flee or should we pray, or drink until we drown the day?
But if we run I’d to know: which direction we should go
The east is underwater, and the west is still aglow
(The west is underwater, and the east is still aglow)
(The south is underwater, and the north is still aglow)

To draw breath is a sin . . . it’s in your eyes and in your skin
In the thoughts that we have limned, in the chits that we called in
In the pages of your scripts, the keys that draw your fingertips
The words that die upon your lips as you try and plead the Fifth

‘Cause when the facts begin to press, all the Moes will turn Curleyesque
All the Chaplins will deliquesce; Stans and Ollies will be repossessed.
All Busters sent to MGM; all Brothers Ritz and Marx condemned;
All Lloyds given the command to let go of the clock hands.
