lyrics

[“Speakeasy chatter…”]

(He was never here…) Whispered rep.
(Didn’t you hear?) Whispered in the middle
(He was never here…) Whispered rep.

There’s no such thing as no
and yes is quite impressed
By shiny coins that toss
and bed high upon my chest
Once comfort meets with me
In truth – you’ve lied with less
You’ll beg to pay for more
One’s home becomes my flesh

Bigger than most
But not big enough to matter
Nicer for those
Who have coin to make them matter
Cutting it close
But no further up the ladder
Quiet enough
But not quite, enough

<INSTRUMENTAL>

The definitive limited dividend
Of every citizen
Unaware of the horrible situation
That they’re living in
Come and consummate
In the tainted virginity of a saint
Drink it all away
It’s all included in your stay

We’ll be your host
But we’ll make you even sadder
Hip ‘cause we chatter
Come join us and get fatter
Mad as a hatter
If you think this all sounds queer
Name sake doesn’t matter
‘Cause he was never here

He was never here

<INSTRUMENTAL>

Bigger than most
Nicer for those
Cutting it close
But not quite, enough
We’ll be your host
Hip ‘cause we chatter
Mad as a hatter
Name sake doesn’t matter
‘Cause he was never…
