lyrics

I saw tulips shaped like flaming lips today and I imagined your stupid face. Wandering an empty square murmuring and mumbling your ugly name. I've sent the last of my secret messages.

We sent love notes across the land with carrier pigeon hands or then again maybe we didn't.
Hard to say what day that bird finally flew away and should it's wings ever stop their beating
I'll send the last of my secret messages.

I would crawl inside that trollop's skin, slide around in her bed again.
I'd wrap my head in sheep and forget all the clever words you said if I weren't already dead.
Just another stubborn zombie pioneer.

And in that square today I swear I showed my bits to so many of these useless future operators.
I grow impatient waiting around here with all the other patients for the same inefective medication.
I'll send the last of my messages when I see your two lips split open again.
