Well, right now in Tokyo
Only place I am
When my blisters are immersed
In fresh-as-fresh tin can
I've often talked about
How the cretins span the world
In the time that I've known you
I've yet to have shown you
A moron with his snarl unfurled
But right back in Tokyo
With a tough, encircled hand
Thousand vulture smokey-o
Cigareet with a seegar band
I've always talked about
How to carve up daddy's boat
In the space of a half-year
We've yet to embark, my dear
To another shallow side of the moat
What Is Quicksand?

I've never talked about
How to carve up daddy's boat

Lyrics[edit | edit source]
Well, right now in Tokyo
Only place I am
When my blisters are immersed
In fresh-as-fresh tin can
I've always talked about
How the cretins span the world
In the time that I've known you
I've yet to have shown you
A moron with his snarl unfurled
But right back in Tokyo
With a tough, encircled hand
Thousand vulture smokey-o
Cigareet with a seegar band
I've never talked about
How to carve up daddy's boat
In the space of a half-year
We've yet to embark, my dear
To another shallow side of the moat
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The original demo's lyrics differ slightly from the final version's at the start of each chorus, with "often" and "always" replaced by "always" and "never", respectively.
