lyrics

Sometimes I feel like a relic from a bygone age
Like the phone booths on West End Avenue
Think I'll call up the Landmark Conservancy
And have myself committed
Just seems to be the thing to do

And if you'd care to join me, we can watch the world as it burns
From the comfort of our designated status
A billion years of rust
An aeon of volcanic dust

You know, life's just a series of long goodbyes
Till we braille our tale in shale and fossilize
Let's wrap ourselves in coffins, and metamorphosize
You know, life's just a series of long goodbyes

Pratfalls and padded walls
Parasols and overalls
Throngs and thralls of neanderthals
Shrouds and shawls
Curtains and palls

You know, life's just a series of long goodbyes
Till we braille our tale in shale and fossilize
Let's wrap ourselves in coffins, and metamorphosize
You know, life's just a series of long goodbyes
