They Might Be Giants - Listless lyrics
[They Might Be Giants - Listless lyrics]
Light the fuse on this rocket-fueled mistake
Like a ragdoll, I'm hurled against my seat
With so much g-force I can't
Move to reach the break
Helpless to influence my
Ship's relentless course
My human frailty complements
It's brutal force listless, but I can't drop
Too weak to work out how to stop
A metal brace to hold my head erect
Electric pulses to keep my heart alive
Servo motors that control my arms and legs
And a spirit barely willing to survive
Seemed like a good idea when
I first thought of it what good is a plan if
You're unwilling to commit?
Now I'm listless, but I can't drop
I'm too weak to work out how to stop
I'd think of a solution if
I weren't so mentally ill
I can't remember where I
Put my brain-correcting pill
Listless, just barely there
Mouth held slightly open
Uncomprehending stare
And I'm listless, but I can't drop
I'm too weak to work out how to stop
