Sol Invictus

[Verse 1]

I'll be your leprechaun

Shamrock or lucky charm, whoa, yeah

Tap-dancing all alone, and it's okay

Dip into the sugar bowl, whoa, yeah

[Chorus]

Sunny side up

Sunny side up

Such a lovely way to start the day

Sunny side up

Sunny side up

Not the only way to fry an egg

Sunny side up

Sunny side up

[Post-Chorus]

I am just a grain of sand on your beach

With all of my heart

All of my heart

A drop of rain through your hands

[Verse 2]

Rainbows will bend for me

Curvy

Honey bees will sting for me

Stingin', stingin'

[Chorus]

Sunny side up

Sunny side up

Such a lovely way to start the day

Sunny side up

Sunny side up

Dance the night away like Fred Astaire

[Outro]

Come on, ride my wave

Ride it all the way

'Til the ocean ends

I'll see you there

This winter day

I'd like to burn the hair off

This summer fling

What love can do when love's lost

Grow overweight

And smile as if

There's nothing left to say

Wear the cone of shame

Town is quiet now

Like it's holding its breath

Stone marks the spot

You know who you are

They outlined it in chalk

Word to the wise

And the barman calls time

I'd like to peel your skin off

So I can see what you really think

Or if there is anything

Under that cone of shame

I'd like to strip the bone off

So I can see how you're really made

And see how you really take

Your special pleasure

I'd like to pull your wings off

Read your lines like a gypsy

Just as lonely as anything

So infinite

Cone of shame covering all

You're only happy when you're pissing me off

Cone of shame covering all

I'm only happy when I'm pissing you off

[Intro]

This is only a test

[Verse 1]

1, 2, what you gonna do?

3, 4, 5, twistin' your arm and your eye

You will buy

Step right up, donate a memory

To the bank of love, that could loan you your daydreams

[Chorus]

Buy it!

Buy it!

Black Friday's come and gone

[Verse 2]

Buy me a future regret

A shrink wrapped fantasy, that I'll wanna forget

In the age of the mercenary

In the nursing home where river swallows the sea

That's where we'll be, with guns

[Chorus]

Buy it!

Buy it!

[Bridge]

Into the age of scrutiny

And the grandest of apathy

Well I ain't gonna pay

Trimming the tree, I can hang, I won't swing

It's only a test

[Chorus]

(Buy it!) I'll pry my seat

(Buy it!) From the children's graves

(Buy it!) Hear the angels sing

All the zombies walk on Black Friday

[Verse 3]

It's a riot at the salad bar

Predatory lenders

Safari mission is far but you paid for them

To kill your mom

[Chorus]

Buy it!

Kill 'em now!

Buy it!

This is only a test

[Verse 1]

Force fed more than we'd eat in the wild

Grazed on a mash that could suffocate a child

Bloated, promoted in an ode to pomp and style

Moistening in the feed while we choke upon the bile

Cornering the market on the geese without the bones

Hushing out the public in a strike without a drone

The cage became collapsable, our sticks equipped with stones

[Refrain]

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

[Chorus]

Hello, motherfucker

My lover

You saw it coming

[Verse 2]

Set aside the scruples in a stratagem of strain

A smallpox-laden blanket, invisible with stains

Inoculating bastards, bloody pecked pain

Distemper has a hold, distemper has a hold

We took the second sip from a cup we made of bones

The first it was a ruse, a trick, so aptly thrown

The truth is that our youth was a carpet laid in stones

[Refrain]

Get the motherfucker on the phone, the phone

[Chorus]

Hello, motherfucker

My lover

You saw it coming

Goodbye, motherfucker

My lover

You had it coming

[Refrain]

Get the motherfucker on the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone

Get the motherfucker on the phone
