oh...let’s take a look at you
tally up your assets
analyse your moods
if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...
have ya got a raincoat?
or a razor suit?
razor suit...
whaba-whaba-wow-wow
mr. stick exploded on the scene,
matured, then settled in
quite comfortably
mr. stick’s opinions mix
the friction of ambition
with reality
ba-dow, ba-dow, ba-dow-ba-dow-ba-dow
mr. stick has often stated
cre-a-tiv-i-ty is high-ly
over-rated
mr. stick is patient
but his recent insights have not been
appreciated
mr. stick was shocked to find
his in-ner fer-al chi-ld
was a spoiled brat
mr. stick took classes
and racked-up some steep expenses
trying to cope with that
oh...let’s take a whiffa you
tally up your net worth
analyse your stool
if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...
ya know we’re in your corner
and we’re eager to approve
but are ya one of them goddam, girlie-boy raincoats?
or A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?
A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?
razor suit...?
mr. stick decided
that if other people did, well damn it
so would he
mr. stick got worried
that if other people were, well maybe
so was he
mr. stick's attention
is always focused on
his lack of con-centration.
mr. stick's still patient
but his recent insights have not
made a strong impression
oh...let’s take a whiffa you
allocate your assets
synthesize your mood
if the devil’s in the details
every angel is a fool...
ya know we’re in your corner
and we’re eager to approve
but are ya one of them goddam, girlie-boy raincoats?
or A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?
A MAN IN A RAZOR SUIT?
are you a man? (x 3)
mr. stick thinks certain rock stars
from the 60’s should retire
grace-ful-ly
mr. stick, by living simply,
cheats the chilly, harsh critique
of history
mr. stick objected when
his recent insights on these matters
were rejected...
