Good Morning! - Duncan Sheik

I awake to find the devil

Sitting near my bed.

We have a conversation

…he says:

Good morning mr.

cut-throat

These are most exciting times

We are surrounded by fools and crooks,

Strangers that give us dirty looks,

So many different people to despise

It’s tearing you apart / you haven’t got the heart

I don’t mean to complain, but it seems a little strange

Good evening mr.

turncoat!

Well done!

You’ve been watching the so-called news

(and now yo see it)

That no news is good news,

We don’t want to confuse

The popular pursuit

Of absolute truth

And who has time for such remote endeavors

You wanna disappear,

How did you end up here?

I don’t mean to complain

But it seems a little strange

Take me to your leader

I sure could use a laugh

(I hear) he’s made a new birdfeeder

And he sleeps in a birdbath

Who needs to join the circus

Come on, just look around

We are surrounded

By a bunch of f**king clowns!

They sing la la la la la la la la

They all sing la la la la la la la

We all sing la la la la la la la la

Everybody sing, la la la la la la la la

Its tearing you apart / you haven’t got the heart

You sit there and complain, it seems a little lame.

Good morning, mr.

misanthrope

I sure do hope you remember our terms
