Kashmir - Lampshade lyrics

rate me

you'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a nova

not recognizing the molehills on top of the star

cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a rover

that is his car

you wouldn't doubt him shake the most powerful hands of importance

changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink

to judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children

that's what you think

but there's no time to think

have a pill and a shrink

just don't show us how you sweat

making love to your kids

is the last love that you will ever get

you're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew

but it comes to show

that the man I know -

is kissing that cheek that she had lifted up for her forty first birthday

love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face

boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake

now dog is a bird

but there's no time to think

have a pill and a shrink

just don't show us how you sweat

making love to your kids

is the last love that you will ever get

you're a vanishing image of what i thought I knew

but it comes to show

that the man I know

has a fading glow

in a white lampshade

tell me lamshade the truth did you cover his soul

did you protect all the horrible

I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows

what he's been carrying around

tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to hide

under your stinky old corduroy

I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of light

that I've been choking on always

there's a dog barking close within the range of my ear

sounds like he wants to escape the chain

he would probably bite me to death if he could

but the chain lets me spit in his face

like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it's neck

this man is tied to his secrecy

I would like to have killed him off in this last verse

but instead I removed his lampshade
