​of Montreal - Events Leading Up to the Collapse of Detective Dulllight lyrics

There was jello in the fingerprints
Detective Dulllight discovered it
Proved to be
The most important finding in the
Case and whereas Detectives
Slocks and Slovit's
Slobbered over smutty photographs Dulllight
Had a better lead to follow he
Followed the ringing to the
Telephone where a voice asked "Excuse
Me aren't you so and
So?" "Oh so and so since you left
I have been eating only sweets
Cause they remind me of you" He
Felt this surely was a clue
So he climbed into the tub
Wearing his underwear and overcoat
Jumped aboard the
Mono boat, and followed the water down
The drain in his brain
There are file cabinets and secretaries
Filing their nails downstairs
(But, I don't want to talk about
That room downstairs) at this moment
Detective Slocks and Slovit's
Realize that since they had reported on the
Crime scene this morning each of them
Has aged over fifty years two
Butterflies land on their shoulders and
Harmonize softly in their ears:

"Where did all the time go?"
"Did you think that you'd
Stay young forever?"
"But at least you're still together"

The two detectives held hands in
The moonlight the butterflies
Flew away which prompted Slovit's
To say, "It's queer
But, I miss them already"
Slocks removed a fountain
Pen from his breast pocket, drove
It deep into Slovit's' throat
And began screeching
"death to the parchment whale, the robot
IAM LASAILE" while in prison
Slocks wrote one of the
Most revered exercises in
Free verse titled "The Cause of Gauze":

"Oh the cause of gauze
The Manuels have fondled many memories
From my lap though each memory has it's own
Lap and swimmers swim
Laps even swimmers have laps however and
While in that condition many
Require a delicate gauze i desire
Only this in my decrepitude
That I will have one more
Opportunity to serve as
A gauze to my fellow man and that
In that state of gauze
Can somehow disturb the
World less often with my prickly fingers"

When Detective Dulllight returning from
The catacombs first
Heard the news of the Slocks
And Slovets stabbing and
Subsequent poetry enterprise
He immediately fell to the
Floor and began plucking peaches from his
Cheeks this eventually became a tiresome
Activity so he evaporated into the cream
Afloat a child's bedtime cocoa
