a dirty deed is brewing green ivy overgrowing
the scissors poised and ready and she said that she was going
a thousand hours of waiting she put it all in writing

she pricked her finger for it but she´s not cooperating

oh i swear
by the river styx
that´s where i am fixed.

but i think the time is nearing i think i might be thawing
if only i were certain that my temperature weren´t falling
and the tourists have been coming
from my fingers sawing
pieces for exhibits where impressive crowds are drawing

oh i swear
by the river styx

that´s where i am that´s where that´s where i am i am fixed

and if i had the patience and i had the humor and you had the slightest clue what all this
fuss was for all of the times that i say that ill do it there´s 909 that i secretly ruin its good
that i tell you what i am escaping for over the rainbow and out through the back door

if only i could prove it
if only i could do it
if only i could torture all the people who can use it
and at the final hour i am forced to sit and gather
the thousand hours of inspiration slowly growing sour

oh i swear
by the river styx
that´s where i am that´s where that´s where i am i am fixed

and if i had an offer to be better id decline
and if it were more awful to consider id be fine
and if it were all my fault
that i´m that i´m that i´m that i´m

and i´ve pined and i´ve regretted that i aided and abetted
this end and if it isn´t it will be soon you bet it will be
and the tapes are in the fire
go to bed because i´m tired

of saying it is done
because i´ve always been a liar

.....and if it were all my fault that i´m bitter....
