[00:00.00] So calculated, the words that come.
[00:20.37]Ah! But the glorious shine of a polished tongue.
[00:24.45]Have you been up practicing all night long?
[00:32.61]Your mouth forms chords and arpeggiates.
[00:36.72]At first it's sweet but then it nauseates.
[00:40.38]Have you been up sweating this all night long?
[00:48.60]At the crack of dawn you're out again to show the world just where you stand
[01:00.57]You dressed in your good suit today.
[01:04.47]Polished your shoes for such an occasion...
[01:08.79]Pressed your shirt and slicked your hair.
[01:12.75]Straighten that tie! Now get out there! Get out there!
[01:20.61]The tile is burning through your rubber soles.
[01:22.62]Your sweat is beading, forming tiny pools.
[01:28.47]You've been pacing and you're scaring the shit out of your kids.
[01:36.45]There's white foaming up in the corners of your mouth.
[01:40.62]The neighbor kids are laughing and pointing at your house.
[01:44.67]Your wife's ashamed.
[01:46.53]She's pulling all the blinds.
[01:48.36]You'd think you'd get the picture after time after time after time.
[01:52.53]Your roof is slowly growing weak sagging stretching like your speech...
[02:03.90]Oh my science! He's on the roof again! Citing scripture and throwing up his hands.
[02:34.29]They said "I don't think he's coming down. Face it, I don't think he's coming down!"
[03:22.44]"Does he think he's conducting some great orchestra?
[03:38.46]Cause he's waving his hands" and I can't help singing but saying:
[04:07.56]" Oh my science! He's on the roof again!
[04:15.03]Citing scripture and throwing up his hands.
[04:34.86]Dear science he's on the roof again!
[04:40.68]Citing scripture and throwing up his hands."
[04:49.08]He's not missing a beat hitting every note.
[05:12.33]not discouraged by sharp fingers
[05:15.03]You dressed your good suit today.
[05:18.27]Polished your shoes, oh what a waste.
[05:25.59]Pressed your shirt and slicked your hair
[05:28.20]and all you got were empty stares...
