Ceschi - Long Live The Short Lived lyrics

[Intro: Ceschi] Nobody quite understood Andy Kaufman's finest jokes Even years after All the cancer chewed away Carmen Miranda's Heart attack on the Durante show Wasn't noticed until she Faded the next day When all our flesh disintegrates We'll perform for the worms Although the crowds will be letdowns At least we'll still perform [Verse I: Ceschi] When you rub your eyes too hard and see spots Those are only angels Mixed with souls of the faded famous Still putting on shows inside of a limbo dearly departed Taken from a life early on These trifling swan songs Don't last long The remains only stay In an eardrum coffin Lost in dense fog It's funny but it's dead wrong To pluck the gray hairs Right out of a corpse's beard And make a mask out of insignificance Lingering around the stratosphere So throw your fists up For the fossilized apostles Climb all over the graves of giants To make yourself feel close to Colossal [Hook: Ceschi] x4 Long live the great short lived They all lived well [Verse II: Sole] I show that wear and tear on my face And my clothes I wear, they tear Cause I'm old like where my tears fell In a cauldron The elders stoned to d**h In World War 1 On french battlefields The avant-garde always died first Die depressed, the way its gotta be Down by booze Clowned by shallow fools Bitten by piranhas in shallow pools I'm on a shadow run Sippin 'my gla** And for them I'm always tipping my gla** It's half empty Mostly gas But its still a drink [Hook] [Bridge I:Sole] Rest in a lost cause Find no peace in a fresco Nobody loves you like worms do Show you the light like holes do [Bridger I: Ceschi] So rest in peace with musical pieces Rotting around the guillotine All of us remember something significant But you weren't part of the final equation [Bridge I: Sole] [Bridge I: Ceschi] [Bridge II: Sole] And that's dirt You can't go deep without discovering a body In cities you can't go deep without discovering a body You can't go deep [x4] [Bridge II: Ceschi] The one man band it broke up Before the world got choked up Before anyone noticed, he dissolved into smoke and dust The one man band it broke up Before the world got choked up And the few friends he gathered Scattered ashes mixed with coke bumps [Verse III: Sole] We all know the drive is far When the tongue weighs a ton Although they don't understand me I carry a speech for when the Grammy's won Torches don't get pa**ed, they go out The winner dies of dementia And artists draw no pension Its pecking your eyes while you're trying to read Be the one to murder your faith while you're trying to believe But don't fret We all go down but look better in flames It means nothing if only the tombstones remember our names Only by pissing in the wind will you know the way its going And only our fallen comrades know the true definition (Of revolution) Only by pissing in the wind will you know the way its going And only our fallen comrades know the true definition Of revolution [Bridge II: Ceschi] x2 [Sole: overlapping Bridge II: Ceschi] The bigger the giant The harder it falls It's simple physics idiots The bigger the knife The bigger the scar
