I'm singing the last song

Breaking the last bond

That will hold us down

I'm coming off my curule stool

To spoon feed my message to you



Because it's been so long

It's been such a long time for me

You have to speak vernacular

Speak vernacular to please

Set me free



Your brain is an oyster

That rattles and roisters

Fate forgot the pearl

Now I'll dare to succumb to this scam

Life should be grander

But I'll stay my hand



Because it's been so long

It's been such a long time for me

We have to speak vernacular

Speak vernacular to breathe



Well we all feel good when the sun sets low

And the dead dog barks in Tokyo

And the new heart lives in the killer's grave

And we all sleep sweet in the beds we made



I'm gonna drown your ears in the spit of my secrets

Gonna rip every word from this cage of my chest

To lose all my lonely I'll stop all my dreaming

My head on your chest my cruel recrudesce



Because it's been so long

It's been such a long time for me

You have to speak vernacular

Speak vernacular to breed



I am in the lions' den

I am in the lions' den

I am in the lions' den

I am pabulum for Chrissie
