Lyrics
The Kill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am an anarchist
An antichrist
An asterisk
I am an anorak
An acolyte
An accidental
I am eleven feet
Ok, eight...
Six foot three...
I fought the British and I won
I have a rocket ship
A jetfighter
A paper airplane
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!
Say what you will - I am The Kill
The only thing that keeps
You really truly safe
From being real
I have a tendency
To exaggerate
Just a little bit
I am a plagiarist
Apologist
A walrus-cockhead-lizzard
I am an optimist
A closeted misogynist
I fought the British and I won
I have a wishing well a
Living will
A magical eight ball
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh!
Say what you will - I am The Kill
The only thing that keeps
You really truly safe
From being real
Put Pat Sajak back in office,
Put Pat Sajak back in office!
But the sun still sets on you
And the retarded party
Nobody came to ditch you
And so you drink to
All the emptiness until you wake up
And there's hell to pay again
And the punchline point at you
And all the comebacks in the
World are in your head
But you can't say them until
Everybody leaves
And it's just you and your
Imaginary friends
Your imaginary friends
Your imaginary friends
