lyrics

Simple contrast makes you sound, oh, so clever,
I know.
A reversal kills two lines.
Playing with phrase?
Don’t play around anymore.
Stick to your wits, contrive not to be so
Subtle, again, is not your strongest point.
I want to make myself really clear.
You’ve said enough.
Now, say it all.
You’ve said “enough;” Now say it all.

Over-reiterate
(oh)
to the point, oh, Oh!
It’s obscene!
Over the shoulder,
unable to...
unable to
Stop! Stop! Stop!

And
Untrained I,
Convinced by the page
Am taking this scripture to heart.
Untrained I,
Seduced by the Page,
Am taking this fiction apart.

Awake, awake, awake.
Awake, awake, awake.
Awake, awake, awake!

Preservation is the loftiest of goals.
Why should preservation be so...?
Preservation is the lo-fi-est of goals.
Why should preservation be so

Overrated.
More to the point, oh, oh, it’s obscene.
Over the shoulder, unable to -
Unable to stop, stop, stop!

And untrained I,
Seduced by the page,
am taking this scripture to heart.
Untrained I,
Seduced by the Page
Am taking
This fiction...
I’m taking...
This Fiction...

Untrained I, seduced by the page, am taking this Fiction to heart.
Untrained I, seduced by the Page, am taking this scripture

to heart.
