about

-story time-
the band breaks up and his girlfriend moves on. the human animal exists in a state of depression, yet his muses call to him in a chorus of pitty and self-loathing that ultimately grants him a new brand of artistic expression that boils down to nothing but stylstic nhilism.
it goes "oooooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, oooooo...."

lyrics

ooooooooooooooooo

wandering around upon all fours
just like a stray dog at the door
pledging your loyalty to all
who'll give you scraps of alcohol
sleeping on every welcome mat
wearing them dangerously thin
wimpering for pitty paying fools
to take you in

oooooooooooooooooo

born of a foolish girl's mistake
wombed in her wedding dress of pink
a bitter heirloom from a man
a stain on her heart a blot of ink
was it the whiskey that you felt
tickling your nose hairs as a child
wafting from your father's lips
that drove you wild

oooooooooooooooooooo

or was it up upon the shelf
where your mother put you away
behind the books and picture frames
where you watched her brand new family
her husband that you never called dad
their beautiful kids with more love than you had
was it from here you heard the howl
that drove you mad

oooooooooooooooooooooo

if i could only be so tragic
would i be as cool as you
if my life were more dramatic
could i learn to feel the blues
but when you're suffering is static
and you ain't learned nothing new
is there really any magic
to the sorry things you do

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
