Cardiff Giant by Mewithoutyou
Cardiff Giant lyrics
[Peacock:]
Ragged robbins for the curtain call
Wrapped in ribbons on the trailer door
Carved initials in a concrete footstall
On the imitation marble floor
We�re the boxtop admissions and their throwaways,
Strewn across tobacco roads
With their wormwood shots and their snake oil plots
Drunk sheepshank con men and their sycophants
And I often wonder if I've already died
[Tiger:]
Out at elbows by the encore
But there�s a citadel inside
Where I�ll go and shape my heart like yours,
As you shape yours like mine
Where we�re the spiraling arms of all galaxies
And we�re the microscopic sand
Suffering from delusions of ungrandeur on middling
display
Beside the Cardiff giant with the alabaster eyes
I often wonder if I've already died,
Or if the 'I' is an unintelligible lie
Off we flew like swarms of hornets
'Woken up' from winter�s rest
To colonize with plastic pulp
Our neighbor�s perfect paper nest
While all year round potter wasp
Has buzzed her unhinged song
You can hear its creaking in our floorboards
Megalomania�s only mania if you�re wrong
