Lyrics
The Mayor
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.
Oh, it's scrambled eggs what he says
He accuses me of treachery
Got the nine lies, got the wide eyes
Got a failing grade in chemistry
If you count back to the balcony
When all we saw was the mystery
Of a blonde haired boy brought his mother joy
With his pedigree and family tree
Oh, lay it all out on a wicker couch
That you wove in the loony bin
Cut it out, it's a second round bout
Not the way of a gentleman
Give it up, get a job
Take a pill and leave me be
He's got a synapse lapse he don't think he has
But it's been proven empirically
If they take something precious from me
I take something precious from them
Oh, now he's losing his constituency
We thought
Oh, this could never happen again
Oh, no way to go
He's the Mayor
Oh, I'm quite tired of this lunatic
Why must we suffer cuz the mayor's sick?
He say: All abandon from this sinking ship
Then he's off on another trip
No, he don't care about environment.
He has made this a shitty place
My interest rate shrinks at a rapid pace
Compounded daily on my worried face
If they take something precious from me
I take something precious from them
Oh, now he's losing his constituency
We thought
Oh, this could never happen again
If I take something precious from him
He try to take something precious from me
There's a battle in his head that he cannot win
There's a man he could never be
Oh, no way to go
He's the Mayor
If they take something precious from me
I take something precious from them
Oh, now he's losing his constituency
We thought
Oh, this could never happen again
If I take something precious from him
He try to take something precious from me
There's a battle in his head that he cannot win
There's a man he could never be
