(You're One) Emphatic Attic

from ¡dos! by Wild Daydream

/

lyrics

When your attic is emphatic
So dramatic
Cool it down!
But it watches ever cooly
Never putting your hand down
Moving this way
And a-that way
Moving forward
Side-to-side
You’re past out on the counter
Heaven knows you can’t unwind
A slave to these theatrics
A thought with no reply
‘Cause a fool can never answer without the company of lies

Well you’re bound to win the oscar for actor who can cry
Forget about your problems, kid
‘Cause they’re never gonna die
You can choke them
You can beat them up
Put a thorn into their side
For the days are moving faster, friend
Start fasting while you’re high
A bone to pick with Adam
And Eve you criticize
But your yells are being muffled by the company of lies

Well do you play the violin while flying in the clouds
Or does Orville kind of bore you?
Puts on airs to bring you down
Well you might play the fiddle
Well it’s riddled with the dirt
(I caught you?) Well you were pinching screaming pennies
Collecting all you’re worth
But a violin and fiddle are instruments alike
It’s the genre that divides them with its company of lies

The red one fought the blue one
The blue one told his mom
His mother, Mrs Hubbard went to ring the red one’s mom
They were huffing and a-puffing
Throwing punches blow-by-blow
The commentator plays both sides for viewers back at home
And meanwhile blue’s forgotten
And red’s apologized
They stream the fight on their telescreens: The Company of Lies!

Woah!!!
