If there was ever a call here to cause alarm
I’d like a nuclear bomb
I’m here with the Prozac & broken arm
Third time’s a charm
On the top of the world in a surgical gown
And it’s a long way down
See I’m a believer with glandular fever
Council to the crown
But if it was up to me though
I could just disappear
And be gone, gone, gone
I wouldn’t have to tell anyone
I could just up and go
As you’re flicking the glass I’m at the water’s edge
Still pitching a wedge
Are you seeing a pattern, are you splitting the atom
Down here on the farm
Everything’s fine, yes I’m feeling ok
Don’t look at me that way
See I’m a deceiver with a lacrimal gland
I can cry on demand
But if it was up to me though
I could just disappear
And be gone, gone, gone
I wouldn’t have to tell anyone
I could just up and go
