“Auntie’s Municipal Court”

Lyrics Permalink
Fine man, crazy man, he can’t see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people always look at me?
Nobody here can see that we are you
We are you
She’s him too
She’s him too
Fine man, crazy man, he can’t see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, hmm
Solid brass statuary guards at the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Somebody here just sent for more
Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two
We need two
More than you
More than you
Solid brass statuary guards at the door
Used to come as one, now it comes as four
Hmm, hmm
Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They say they can’t find
What is kind
What is kind
[break]
Somebody stole their mind
Somebody stole their mind
They say they can’t find
What is kind
What is kind
Fine man, crazy man, he can’t see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Why do the people walk away from me?
Nobody here wants to see that we are you
We are you
She’s him too
She’s him too
Fine man, crazy man, he can’t see
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, hmm
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea
Hmm, hmm…
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again…
