Lyrics (unofficial)

I was a temporary man
In the eternal city
I worked pretty hard to survive
I get good stuff if I can
Well I've had enough
It's a rough time to be alive

And its all crumbling grandeur
I demand a halt
But I'm just a regular man
In the puzzle of this town
I guzzle the next drink down

The engines of kings
The songs that she sings
The smiles on all their stupid faces
The places I run but nobody home
The motors of queens
The rotors and sheens
And the lies in their turgid dreams
Its seems I fly but I'm too shy

Well I drove the removal van
Things went missing
Everybody guessing it was me
And I deliver if I can
If the rivers and the seas
Haven't started to freeze

And it's all dirty washing
I just keep sloshing it down
'Cause I'm just a regular man
In the zoo of a jungle
I fumble the prophecy

The ponies and dogs
The phonies and the cogs
And the fog upon all their dim ideas
I hear it's nice out but I'm all diced up
The ponces and tools
Ensconced in the schools
The subtle subtext of their extra sexting
I'm expecting rain but my app says more pain

Billie darling, bring me a lolly
Because I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love you

(Bring me a lolly
Bring me a lolly)
