I'm singing the last song
Breaking the last bond
That will hold us down
I'm coming off my curule stool
To spoon feed my message to you
Because it's been so long
It's been such a long time for me
You have to speak vernacular
Speak vernacular to please
Set me free
Your brain is an oyster
That rattles and roisters
Fate forgot the pearl
Now I'll dare to succumb to this scam
Life should be grander
But I'll stay my hand
Because it's been so long
It's been such a long time for me
We have to speak vernacular
Speak vernacular to breathe
Well we all feel good when the sun sets low
And the dead dog barks in Tokyo
And the new heart lives in the killer's grave
And we all sleep sweet in the beds we made
I'm gonna drown your ears in the spit of my secrets
Gonna rip every word from this cage of my chest
To lose all my lonely I'll stop all my dreaming
My head on your chest my cruel recrudesce
Because it's been so long
It's been such a long time for me
You have to speak vernacular
Speak vernacular to breed
I am in the lions' den
I am in the lions' den
I am in the lions' den
I am pabulum for Chrissie
