Momus - Disappear lyrics
[Momus - Disappear lyrics]
I wish I were an icicle dripping in your lap
I wish I were your bicycle
Not just your saddle bag
You ask me what it's like to be
A prodigy unknown it's being an actor acting
For a camera with no film
And the camera pans the party
And nobody is here everyone is hiding
In the atmosphere surprise! they say
And happy birthday then they look away
Gatecrashing the walkabout
I point up to the stars visible in daytime
Like the lights of oncoming cars
Converging on the terminus
Swarming to the sea people who know algebra
People who are theoretically free
They turn away the tennis star
They welcome the unkind
Their lives are all so harmless
You wish that you were blind
Shaking out the cornflakes
Into the Chinese bowl
While you read about the zero
Where everybody goes
I wish I were your bicycle
Not just your saddle bag
You ask me what it's like to be
A prodigy unknown it's being an actor acting
For a camera with no film
And the camera pans the party
And nobody is here everyone is hiding
In the atmosphere surprise! they say
And happy birthday then they look away
Gatecrashing the walkabout
I point up to the stars visible in daytime
Like the lights of oncoming cars
Converging on the terminus
Swarming to the sea people who know algebra
People who are theoretically free
They turn away the tennis star
They welcome the unkind
Their lives are all so harmless
You wish that you were blind
Shaking out the cornflakes
Into the Chinese bowl
While you read about the zero
Where everybody goes
