Pills - Les Savy Fav

Once when walking in the woods

I came upon a burning bush

«What wants you vision?», says I

And it spoke, and I quote

«Apocalypse can go down easy

You gotta know it’s an acquired taste

You’re sacrifice can’t please me

I’m dead set to destroy this place

Hip hip for imperfection

I want to make a mess

I’ve got a secret theory

That disarray works best

And though it don’t work often

Oh my God when it does-

Watch as the outburst softens

It’s had its way with us

They’re scared of the silence

But be scared-er of the sound

Hearts are not only beating

They are all counting down

You’re not ready for disorder

You’re not ready for decay

Have you been staving

Time and aging

Sloughing dead skin away?

I must confess I said with a smile

«I'm frightened as a child

And I suspect by

The smoke in your eye

You’re thinking 'So am I.'

Apocalypse can go down easy

You gotta know it’s an acquired taste

Our sacrifice can’t please thee

You’re dead set to destroy this place

If the aspirin you take

Doesn’t cure your headache

Why do docs propose

The headache’s in your head?

And if the orgasms we fake

Take their toll and take the cake

Why do they suppose

We’re better off in bed?

And then the bush said

«You and I, we were meant to be together

You and I, we are gonna hang together

You and I, we are going down together.»
