lyrics

I was born in a jar,
Spilled over the bartop,
Cast among the living like a stone sinking in the Columbia,
The first light that touched me,
Was a hissing red marquee,
It bleached me of purpose & reason,
I was a marvel among sailors,
They can have me in any way they want,
Against a will I never had,

It's an ode to the non-person

The Sailor's grip left prints along my wrists,
I hope they see it,
When they find my sunken vessel,
His face was sandpaper across my neck,
He was so close,
I could hear the grit of his teeth,
And in the fashion I came here,
I'll leave here,
A mess that someone else made.

You know, this album, and particularly "Perfect World" give this sort of "your life is what you make it" kind of theme to it---all while being served with a very hip and catchy melody...personally I'm transitioning from #3 to #2 in terms of this song, and it only took 23 years! Aaron Jay Turkheimer
