so calculated, the words that come. ah!
but the glorious shine of a polished
tongue.
have you been up practicing all night long?
your mouth forms chords
and arpeggiates.
it sounds so sweet but then nauseates.
have you been up
sweating this all night long?
at the crack of dawn your up again to show the
world just where you stand
you dressed in your good suit today.
polished
your shoes for such an occasion...
pressed your shirt and slicked your
hair
straightened that tie now get out there!get out there!
the tile is
burning through your rubber soles
the sweat is beading and forming tiny
pools
youve been pacing and youre scaring the shit out of your kids
theres
white building up in the corners of your mouth
the neighbor kids are laughing
and pointing at your house
your wifes ashamed. she's pulling all the blinds.
you'd think you'd get the picture after time after time after time.
your roof
is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech...
oh my science!
hes on the roof again!
citing scripture and throwing up his hands
they
said "i dont think hes coming down"
"does he think hes conducting some great
orchestra? cause hes waving his hands and i cant help singing:
oh my
science! hes on the roof again!citing scripture and throwing up his hands.dear
science hes on the roof again!citing scripture and
throwing up his
hands."
hes not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by their
laughter
hes not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by sharp
fingers
you dressed in your good suit today
polished your shoes oh what a
waste
pressed your shirt and slicked your hair
and all you got were empty
stares...
but the glorious shine of a polished
tongue.
have you been up practicing all night long?
your mouth forms chords
and arpeggiates.
it sounds so sweet but then nauseates.
have you been up
sweating this all night long?
at the crack of dawn your up again to show the
world just where you stand
you dressed in your good suit today.
polished
your shoes for such an occasion...
pressed your shirt and slicked your
hair
straightened that tie now get out there!get out there!
the tile is
burning through your rubber soles
the sweat is beading and forming tiny

So calculated, the words that come.
But the glorious shine of a polished tongue.
Have you been up practicing all night long?
Your mouth forms chords
and arpeggiates.
At first it’s sweet but then nauseates.
Have you been up
sweating this all night long?
At the crack of dawn you’re out again to show the
world just where you stand
you dressed in your good suit today.
Polished your shoes for such an occasion...
pressed that shirt and slicked back hair
straightened that tie now get out, get out there!
the tile is
burning through your rubber soles
the sweat is beading forming tiny pools
you’re pacing and you’re scaring the shit out of your kids
there’s white foaming up in the corners of your mouth
the neighbor kids are laughing
and they’re pointing at your house
your wife’s ashamed. She’s pulling all the blinds.
You’d think you'd get the picture after time.
Your roof
is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech...
oh my science!
He’s on the roof again!
Citing scripture and throwing up his…
they said "I don’t think he’s coming down"
they said "I don’t think he’s coming down"
oh my science
He’s on the roof again! Citing scripture and throwing up his
"Does he think he’s conducting some great
orchestra?
"Does he think he’s conducting some great
orchestra?
Cause he’s waving his hands and I can’t help but sing:
Oh my science he’s on the roof again
citing scripture and throwing up his
hands."
Oh my science he’s on the roof again
citing scripture.
He’s throwing up his
hands."
Oh my science he’s on the roof again
citing scripture.
He’s throwing up his
hands."
he’s not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by their laughter
he’s not missing a beat hitting every note
not discouraged by sharp fingers
you dressed in your good suit today
polished your shoes oh what a waste
pressed your shirt and slicked your hair
and all you got were empty stares...
1) on adam fissures myspace he claims he's an agnostic, not atheist. Meaning he is unsure if there is a god or he beleives in god but not sure which one.
2) It seems to be a rant on bible thumpers (mainly bible thumpers are christians, being one i've seen plenty unfortunately), so not all religions just one. Plus religions like Hinduism and Judaism don't generally go around trying to convince people to join their religions, it's commonplace in christianity.
With that being said, this is probably a critique on bible thumpers who get on their soap boxes, screaming and yelling at everyone who isn't part of his religion.
"Does anyone believe in God? And can you feel the flames of hell?
Because I do."
First premise makes him a deist, second either Judeo-Christian or Muslim, I'm betting the first.
"Does anyone believe in god? And can you feel the flames of hell? Cause I do. OR MAYBE I DON'T AT ALL. It's just really fucking hot in here."
Agnosticism.
"Oh my science! He's on the roof again! Citing scripture."
I might be wrong but the whole song makes sense with this kinda look
That's what it means....
