The Sinking Ship, The Grand Applause Lyrics

Artist: The Paper Chase
Album: God Bless Your Black Heart

Grandfather burned up to ash and returned to the earth which spawned
This nefarious prank thatâ‚¬â„¢s controlled by the length of his arms
And the kindred is gathered by coffin and chaplain on his behalf
And a discreet tender man clears his throat, waves his hand following a laugh
And the band plays on

Like a fat babyâ‚¬â„¢s birth like a cry and curse at the breathing space
While the mother rejoices ten fingers ten toes and a handsome face
And the family is gasping each one canâ‚¬â„¢t help asking, â‚¬Å“How was it my dear?â‚¬?
Like a scorn for the born that was torn
And deformed for the next cruel years
And the band plays on

So Iâ‚¬â„¢ll cut you all open and see whatâ‚¬â„¢s inside you or whatâ‚¬â„¢s missing
While this virgin your daughter skirt down the altar
She donâ‚¬â„¢t owe you a goddamn thing
Cause sheâ‚¬â„¢s gorgeous Iâ‚¬â„¢ll take her to the house by the lake where I write her a song
While you fat pigs with call-girls
They dance in the ballrooms shaking their wallets at god
And the notes fill the pages as I scramble to paste up my bleeding heart
And this sick song moves on if youâ‚¬â„¢re lucky lifelong you can sing a part
As it falls apart
