lyrics

spontaneous
combustion is the thing
I long for
when you're

complaining
when you are simply going
on for hours

I know, dear
the entire universe
is out to
get you

nobody
appreciates the things
you have to offer

all those selfless deeds,
all those countless acts of true compassion
holier than thou,
sinners come to you for their confession
paragon of light
we should all take part in your procession

well...
no

I figured
it must be difficult to know
that life is
unfair

I agree,
that the whole world has to know
of your ordeal

all pitched in
for a giant monument shaped in your
image

to make sure
that you will never forget
you are special

let me carry those bags for you
let me dryclean those slacks for you
such a shame that you never got that
pony that you wanted so bad

let me manage every chore for you
let me work my body sore for you
such a shame that you never got that
pony that you wanted so bad

let me be a little whore for you
let me empty every store for you
such a shame that you never got that
pony that you wanted so bad

the pony
that you wanted (you want it)
you would have been so happy
no more existential angst

the pony
it's representing jesus (sweet jesus)
you would have been delivered
from all the nasty things on this world

the thing is
we'd had to crucify it (the pony)
the eucharist communion
we'd had to drink its blood

and that is rather silly
