    What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy?
    There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
    I've had my lungs checked out with X rays
    I've smelled the hospital hallways

    Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
    Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

    Times when the day is like a play by Sartre
    When it seems a bookburning's in perfect order -
    I gave the doctor my description
    I tried to stick to my prescriptions

    Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
    Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

    Afternoons will be measured out
    Measured out, measured with
    Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

    Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
    I could change the test results that I will get back
    I've watched the summer evenings pass by
    I've heard the rattle in my bronchi ...

    Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
    Someday I'll wear pyjamas in the daytime

    Afternoons will be measured out
    Measured out, measured with
    Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot

    They keep making albums (8 of them), no one notices.
    While i only consider then slightly above the average folky-pop stuff, i absolutely despise how "Superman's Song" moves me. They should not have that power. I started getting misty just reading the lyrics. It's retarded.

    And i always thought this song was cute in a theological sort of way. Cute awkward god.-


    After seven days
    He was quite tired, so god said:
    "Let there be a day
    Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
    He gathered up some people he had made
    Created blankets and laid back in the shade

    The people sipped their wine
    And what with God there, they asked him questions
    Like: do you have to eat
    Or get your hair cut in heaven?
    And if your eye got poked out in this life
    Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

    God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
    The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

    So he said: "Once there was a boy
    Who woke up with blue hair
    To him it was a joy
    Until he ran out into warm air -
    He thought of how his friends would come to see;
    And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

    God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
    The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

    The people sat waiting
    Out on their blankets in the garden
    But God said nothing
    So someone asked him, "I beg your pardon:
    I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke -
    Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?

    God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
    The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him
