Technobabble (Riles Runs the Meemoo Down)

Whatever happened to all of the good in this coffee-breath world?
Whatever happened to decency?
Why is the Dusk AM flag unfurled?
There's a guy at the end of the hallway
Drinking from a coffee mug prop
He knows where to get it on tap
And he'll keep on talking even after he's told to stop

Words have always been your friends
Wake me up when the movie ends

He's practicing his lines in the mirror
He fits as many syllables in as he can
He puts on his wine red glasses
He's gone on a plane ride to Japan

Words have always been your friends
Wake me up when the movie ends

Now's your chance to get The Big One
Babble on till your jaw falls off
Now's your chance to be a Big Shot
Pound your upper back and cough

Hey, could you tell me what this button does?
Is this the one you push and black coffee comes out?
No thanks, I take mine with sugar
Did I hear you say there's an imposter about?
He can dress up all he likes
He'll never have substance
He can talk all he wants
He'll never say a single word

Whatever happened to all of the good in this coffee-breath world?
Whatever happened to decency?
Why is the Dusk AM flag unfurled?
Now I know why - I've figured it out
He's run out of coffee, he's feeling shortchanged
Now go put on that stolen song
Your thoughts were short, your hair was long
And sing it with conviction, as if anything has changed

Words have never been your friends
Wake me up when the movie ends

Now's your chance to be a Big Shot
Babble on till your jaw falls off
Now's your chance to get The Big One
Pound your upper back and cough
