Momus - Osip Mandelstam lyrics
[Momus - Osip Mandelstam lyrics]
Oh my God why, you are making us nervous
And you could be made to reform
You could be sent for community service
Just when you're doing so well
You wave a red rag at a bull
Don't be a cautionary tale
You don't want to be the next Osip Mandelstam
I'm telling you this as a friend
You're showing your silhouette
Over the parapet they have an ironclad mind
You'll only hurt yourself trying
To dismantle it
So don't be a cautionary tale
Wave a red rag at a bull
Be a vainglorious fool
You don't want to be the next Osip Mandelstam
Comparing their fingers to worms
Oh my God why, you are making us nervous
And you could be made to reform
You could be sent for community service
Just when you're doing so well
You wave a red rag at a bull
Don't be a cautionary tale
You don't want to be the next Osip Mandelstam
I'm telling you this as a friend
You're showing your silhouette
Over the parapet they have an ironclad mind
So don't be a cautionary tale
Wave a red rag at a bull
Be a vainglorious fool
You don't want to be the next Osip Mandelstam
