Kashmir Lampshade Lyrics

Lampshade Lyrics

You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova
Not recognizing
the molehills on top of the star
Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat
in a rover
That is his car

You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most
powerful hands of importance
Changing the world as we know it by leaving his
ink.
To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his
children
That's what you think

But there's no time to think
Have a
pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your
kids
is the last love that you will ever get

You're a vanishing image
of what I thought I knew
But it comes to show
That the man I know
-

Is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first
birthday
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face
Boy had
a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
Now dog is a
bird

But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just
don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your kids
is the last love
that you will ever get

You're a vanishing image of what I thought I
knew
But it comes to show
That the man I know
has a fading glow
in
a white lampshade

Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his
soul?
Did you protect all the horrible?
I shall tear you apart so that
everyone knows
what he's been carrying around

Tell me lampshade what
is it you're trying to hide
under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip
and be shattered by the shrapnell of light
that I've been choking on
always

There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
Sounds
like he wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if he
could
but the chain lets me spit in his face

Like the dog has a chain
clinging close to it's neck
This man is tied to his secrecy
I would like
to have killed him off in this last verse
but instead I removed his
lampshade
