Momus - Judy Garland lyrics
[Momus - Judy Garland lyrics]
Your very failure is success
You became the little mouse that roared
And when I'm nearly desperate
When life is looking desolate
Like Judy Garland you can make me soar
And if you say there is a way
I'll follow you the whole world through
Even though I know the price to pay
We'll leave the places we began
Dispense with evil gentlemen
Alea jacta est, so let us play
The Wickedest Witch of the West
Is killing me with pointlessness
The neighbours and the parents and the grind
I saw a Strawman in the rain
His friend the Tinman was in pain
The brain, the heart and courage left behind
(We are heterosexuals by the way
But we may be the queerest people
You will meet all day)
And I find you so glamorous
My feelings for you? Amorous
Like Judy Garland you can
Make things fun again
And if we're getting desperate
If life is looking desolate
We'll hitch our wagon to a fucking hurricane
They're dosing me with serotonin
Re-uptake inhibitors
Fluoxetine is branded as Prozac
The side-effects are feeling sick
Dizziness, a droopy dick
So now I'm drowsy yet insomniac
But somewhere over the rainbow is Berlin
Or just a clean, well-lighted place
Where we can start again
(We're pessimistic realists in our way
But we're the biggest optimists that
You will meet all day)
