lyrics

TAP THAT VEIN

I’m riding in a tank / I don’t know who to thank / That privilege is reserved for certain persons of a certain rank / But things are going well / As far as I can tell / The bees have lost their radar and I’ve lost my sense of smell / And roses in a clump are headed for the dump / I guess it’s all related to some kind of economic slump / An enterprising type would say the time is ripe / and try to find a way to make disaster pay / A-whoo now we’re gonna come and tap that vein, yeah we’re lookin for a well to drain / Now you tell us everything you know or we’re never gonna let you go / Now we’re gonna come and tap that vein / Yeah we’re lookin for a well / But you said it would last forever / How was I to know

Things happen randomly / Well better them than me / I never felt connected til they made me pay a monthly fee / With all the fauna gone / We’ll put the sauna on / And just pretend it’s all a natural phenomenon / It’s hard to talk because I’ve got my special armour on / And no I’m not a scholar but I’m near encyclopedic on the symptoms of decline. And if your god was mine / I would admonish him for having grandiose designs / A-whoo now / we’re gonna come and tap that vein / yeah we’re lookin for a well to drain / Now you tell us everything you know or we’re never gonna let you go / Yeah we’re gonna come and tap that vein, yeah we’re lookin for a well / But you said it would last forever / How was I to know / Yeah you said it would last forever / How was I to know
