Metabolism Lyrics

I slipped into a nightmare

Watching the election

Calling for a wheelchair

From the bleacher section

Sitting in the cheapest seats

With a simple-minded crown

I couldn't feel the feeling

Like a bride without a wedding gown

My hair is getting thinner

The nights are growing shorter

I'm standing at the river

Trying to cross the border

Someone turned my smile into a frown

My metabolism's slowing down

He poisoned all the voters

But couldn't get elected

Too much on his shoulders

Just as he suspected

I watched them build a castle

Set up to be torn down

My arteries start to rattle

Everybody is leaving town

My hair is getting thinner

The nights are growing shorter

I'm standing at the river

Trying to cross the border

Someone turned my smile into a frown

My metabolism's slowing down

A nuclear enchantment

Left the oil fields on the edge

Fanatics and enhancement

Balanced on the ledge

Daddy scared the boogie-man

Now his son is hanging around

To hell with this prosperity

Pick your rifle up off the ground

My hair is getting thinner

The nights are growing shorter

I'm standing at the river

Trying to cross the border

Someone turned my smile into a frown

My metabolism's slowing down
