Death of a Platypus
The day was quiet when I got the news
When I made the inquiry, think I already knew
Was there room for two?
How could there be?
We'd just confuse any future royalties
And like that it was done
Over before it begun
(I mean began)
Took pieces of me
Shot me down and set me free
'Cause Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Rex the flightless bird has flying dreams
Now he looks to the sky and sighs as he wades back into a stream
To find Sam across the way
Her eyes are still blue but her hair's gone grey
As beautiful as she looked on the day
I wasn't looking for love
(No need for love)
I was only looking for lunch
(Roast beef and curly fries)
Could I be so lucky as to find both occupying the same space at once?
'Cause Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
I wave goodbye to Sam
Rex takes her by the hand
Now rough and calloused by work and age
As the ink dries on the page
When I made the inquiry, think I already knew
Was there room for two?
How could there be?
We'd just confuse any future royalties
And like that it was done
Over before it begun
(I mean began)
Took pieces of me
Shot me down and set me free
'Cause Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Rex the flightless bird has flying dreams
Now he looks to the sky and sighs as he wades back into a stream
To find Sam across the way
Her eyes are still blue but her hair's gone grey
As beautiful as she looked on the day
I wasn't looking for love
(No need for love)
I was only looking for lunch
(Roast beef and curly fries)
Could I be so lucky as to find both occupying the same space at once?
'Cause Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
Arby's is gone
Now it's a Mexican restaurant
I wave goodbye to Sam
Rex takes her by the hand
Now rough and calloused by work and age
As the ink dries on the page
