Renaldo & The Loaf - Here's To The Oblong Boys lyrics

If trivia seems the main concern And uncertainty sets the heart to burn And the liquid's stale in the pipes of brain So your dreams of cream turn sour again Call for the oblong boys See them on their way and long gone Only when you're lonely you count the seeds you've sown Suspicion is a purple worm gnawing at your bones Call for the oblong boys Saw us on our way, for so long A sweet crop has failed, and now A rock of angst has blunt the plough And the cat claws a hex on the bark of your tree So your silver leaves taste of tin, to me Call for the oblong boys See them on their way and long gone Call for the oblong boys Do no wrong Call for the oblong boys Saw us on our way, for so long
