Back then I would've married you
Cloned you and harvested your memories
For essays, for a thesis
Back then I couldn't draw a face
A body that wasn't you
For f*cks sake I'm in pieces
Your narcissism sucked us in, Orchestrated every sin
Each cigarette each awkward shift, Each year that doesn't drift
We all bought new t-shirts today, Only your size was still in stock
And you love it, love us all, Laughing and dancing in lockstep
Today I stream old videos
Same as then, past time digitized
With discretion and understanding
Today I critique the new
Same as then, I'm a young jerk again
Less burdened and less hopeful
Death matador you sucked us in, orchestrated every sin.
Led us all towards the strange creative life that we can't exchange
We all bought your album today, vinyl copies out of stock
And you love it, love the world, laughing and sobbing in lockstep
