lyrics

Verse 1
I’m going to find a diamond in the rough
I’ll search through the piles of trinkets and guff
I’ll make some art for there’s never enough
One man’s junk is another man’s stuff

I found treasure, it was all covered in fluff
I called into work, but they’re calling my bluff
By any measure this hobby is tough
the core is ruptured and roughly corrupt

Chorus 1
Collected hordes of morbid forms
Inspected piles of magazines
Finding comfort in the storm
With Action figure figurines

Verse 2
I’m going to dine in a divine dining room
Dust all the cracks, sweep with a broom
We can smell all the flowers in bloom
I will assume the beauty will loom

I made a habit ungluing the gloom
And chasing a rabbit down a hole to my doom
I’m in exactly the right part of the room
If I were to die from a perfect perfume

Chorus 2
Rejected thoughts with thoughtful scorn
And silly fears from fearful facts
It seems the warning has outworn
Increasing creases on my slacks

Chorus 3
Collected dolls with missing heads
And rusty bells that will not ring
Twisty ties from bags of bread
3 legged chairs and guitar strings

Chorus 4
Rejected thoughts with thoughtful scorn
And silly fears from fearful facts
I’ve been in mourning all the morn
From the way my wife reacts
