Overthrown so long ago She sees the throne upon which she shagged It's not that someone else is there It's that no one could deal with that Now I'm a propeller in the swamp And I've got another twenty to go Ensnared in her grasp By the scepter which she holds She just keeps me down And when I turn around She's got the chain that keeps me there With only ten more to go With only ten more to go Until I'm complete Now I'm a plow that's part of the scene In a work by Pieter Bruegel You know the one with the winged man And the farmer continued to plow, oh hell! She just tears it down Throws it on the ground She's got the whip that keeps me hers With only five more to go With only five more to go until I'm obsolete She had to read Mirbeau to feel The way that her highness should We're all the poisoned, mortal wound of this world An embroidered dress, with Clara on your back With Clara on your back, with Clara on your back Now I'm the horse in the Junkers night In the slaughter of the quiet town She was the lightbulb in the street She'd never heard what Picaso avowed She lays the sword down And now I'm prone on the ground She's got little left to hold And there's only one more now And only one more now until there's tags on my feet Now she's a Tibetan lamasery And I'm the operator at fault When I walked, I looked up "overhead, without a fuss, the stars were going out" She's wearing a tilted crown But then a shotgun sound I'm a heap of leaves from her maple tree And there's no more left in these old bones And there's no more left in these old bones And there's no more left in these old bones And I can finally sleep And I can finally sleep
