just another sunday paddleboat ride
on a man made lake with another lady stranger
if i remain lost and die on a cross
at least i wasn't born in a manger
i can sense somewhere right now i'm being prayed for
seems like i always arrive on the same shore
from where my sails set maybe with one less lady
than my vessel left with, is that a threat
oh i've stayed scarce this last year yes
but be assured in unrest
i'm unavoidable like death this christmas
is this twisted why be upset
i never said i didn't have syphillis miss listless
hard like the bricks i pound my fists with
i mean she's hard like the bricks that i pound with my fists
this is the fall of mr fifths
forged for the hordes
and the ladies and lords
set with fat chords in modern english
i know, i know
there's nothing more appealing
than the sound of high heels
down the marble tile hallways
of your distict's one allotted
city funded steiner school bilingual
or montessori followed by
a single high pitched scream
followed by breaking glass
but could your anger be mapped
into an interpretive dance
to a trip hop track
could it be bowed out on strings
or strung into a pattern
for a god's eye to bring to
your alma mater's holiday fundraiser boutique thing
god i'm sorry, i'm just being crazy. i'm sorry. i'm just being crazy, i know. i'm gonna take you know, kay? you're fine. everything's totally fine. feel a lot better now.

It's about a guy that takes girls on the lake and kills them.
-Oh really? I didn't realize it was that dark. I used to listen to that song to pick me up....
But that's not really what it's about. That's the story that I'm telling, but eh, yeah...

if you guys still dont get it, the end is a sample taken from the film old joy, you can hear most of the part taken in the trailer on the films website: kino.com/oldjoy/pages/trailer/…
god i'm sorry, i'm just being crazy. i'm sorry. i'm just being crazy, i know. but i'm paying attention to you, kay? i'm fine. everything's totally fine. i feel a lot better now.
I listened to it a few times and I am pretty sure he says "but I'm paying attention to you" -- I also think it makes sense given the context. ComaLogic's suggestion also makes sense but I just don't hear the "me"
He always gets me laughing with "i never said i DIDN'T have syphillis..."
The constant flow he smoothes all the lyrics together with is great.
i mean she's hard like the bricks that i pound with my fists
Best on the album!
best pun of the album?
