The Keys to Life vs. 15 Minutes of Fame
[Pilot over PA]
"Folks I know you're all dying to know how long--
I cannot answer that now. We're gonna have to have a maintenance technician come over
and take a look at it and uh once that's done, then we'll give you an estimate
I'd say it's probably at least uh 15 minutes or so."
It's like all of Franklin Avenue now sleeps upon my chest--my chest
I've used cigarette butts and loose leaf to build my nest--build my nest
Did I mention I appreciate the way you treat your guests?--guess not
But I'm not really convinced when you say that you're impressed--hell no
The line between MC and comedian gets a little thinner--little thinner
Now it's nothing but roughage for lunch and punchlines for dinner--feed me
I've tried to open the blinds to let in some sunshine
Wound the watch 'til it broke all in hopes of stopping the time
The key broke off in the ignition how often have I wandered off through my thoughts wishing
Hoping this could be for you what it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see
The key broke off in the ignition how often have I wandered off through my thoughts wishing
Hoping this could be for you what it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see
It's the sure shot
It's the sure shot
It's the sure shot
It's the sure shot
It's the sure shot
It's the sure shot
See it's simple--simple, it's not that I want to make it ripple--ripple
But I feel I'm only being civil--civil
When I sit back and giggle like the rest as the riddle manifests!
I'm stressed--stressed, but most of 'em would never guess--never guess
That I'm closing in upon the dredge
Why? Cause I think it'd be best for the who? To hide the mess from who?
It's all true--it's all true not good but I know it'll do--it'll do
Still trying to reach the kid in you
So I may continue to find why this childproof's so wild
I smile--smile, tired, I walked a thousand miles--miles
Wired over the thoughts I've dialed--dialed
Inspired by the monsters, the files of life full of stars and stripes
The key broke off in the ignition how often have I wandered off through my thoughts wishing
Hoping this could be for you what it is for me patiently I stay busy, I wait, I see
If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existence
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our real names
If you wanna sleep with me and talk about existence
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game and get to know each other by our first names
If you wanna sit with me and talk about existence
We'll need more than 15 minutes
I'll tell you what let's forget about the fame
Push pause on the game... What the fuck's your name?
