<poem> | |||
What will you sell | |||
With the glasses and suit | |||
What | |||
Heart and soul | Heart and soul | ||
It won't wear out | |||
That's not enough | That's not enough I want what's inside | ||
I | Fish fillet knife would cut right through my eyes | ||
Fish fillet knife | |||
I'm looking for some words | I'm looking for some words | ||
To call my own | To call my own | ||
Not worn-out phrases and hand-me-downs | |||
They'll knock me | They'll knock me | ||
In where I stand | |||
Put on its back | |||
In a corned beef | In a corned beef can | ||
I'm going under | |||
You can feel them | You can feel them stripping me down | ||
To the rust inside | To the rust inside | ||
This is the way | This is the way | ||
Frankenstar is born | |||
From bits and pieces others have worn | |||
All held together by a management glue | All held together by a management glue | ||
Too much glue | Too much glue, and the stars turn blue | ||
Turn blue | Turn blue | ||
Turn blue | Turn blue | ||
