John Grant – Metamorphosis lyrics

[Intro]
I said troops and bombs are weary
You transformed, there is no weary
Glaciers, Caffeine, have you met the smiler
Married to the nothingness
Don't tell Granny Kyler

[Verse 1]
14 year old boy rapes 80 year old man
Tickets to the Met
Sweet corn from the cab
Babies in the whitest house
Playing with his toys
Earthquake sports by his hot Brazilian boys
67 yoghurt flavors
Which one do you want?
Can’t decide on toothpaste
Emmanuel Kant
Do you really think they don’t know what they’re doing?
Everything was okay
Someone needed screwing
Yeast infections, synthesizers
Demi-semi-quavers
Who created ISIS?
[?] black male
She knows what I mean
Broccoli with cheese sauce
How long you’ve been dreaming?

[Chorus]
'Cause I enjoy distraction
She just slipped away
It didn't seem to matter
How much she had prayed
They took her in an ambulance
And that is where she died
Until, until this very day
I don’t think I have cried
About my selfishness
My self-absorption
Questions left unanswered
Spiritual extortion
And in my dreams
Her face is bleak
A mere suggestion
And when I wake I can’t remember
Why I’m feeling sad

[Verse 2]
Ain’t no shooting
Fresh for breakfast
This one’s in Florida, not in Texas
Manchurian candidate
[?] trigger
Have you seen the remake?
I have to watch my figure
Lemon does my doughnut
That would hurt no raw nut
Tiki bar, red souffle
[?] everyday
Cynthia, Sylvia
Would not take the garbage out
Now just look what you’ve done
Your delicious secret spout
[?]
Who do you think you can trust?
Empire crumble, calculated stumble
Are you ready for your black awakening
You’re not gonna wear that
Are you dr. Freakin thing?
Do you know what they did that faithful night on Jack’o Highland?

It’s almost as if you always knew what’s coming
Hark into the wind
You can hear the faith is drowning
