Colossus
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 was done in on the weekend
The weekend lasted twenty years
The world's best bulimic bartend
Tender, violent and queer
Forgive me father, I have sinned
I've drained my body full of pins
I've danced til dawn with splintered shins
Full of pins, full of pins
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
They laugh at me when I run
I waste away for fun
I am my father's son
His shadow weighs a tonne
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
They laugh at me when I run
I waste away for fun
I am my father's son
His shadow weighs a tonne
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Forgive me father, I have sinned
I've drained my body full of pins
I've danced til dawn with splintered shins
Full of pins, full of pins
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Goes and it goes and it goes
Go go go go go go!
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
I don't want to be your man, your man
I don't want to be your man, your man
I'm like Stone Cold Steve Austin
I put homophobes in coffins
I'm like Fred Astaire
I dance like I don’t care
I'm like Ted DiBiase
I win no matter what it costs me
I'm like Evel Knievel
I break bones for my people
I'm on my best behavior
Like Jesus Christ our savior
I'm like Reggie Kray
