Strength Through Music
Amanda Palmer
A peculiar thing happened to me this morning
Just as I reached into my pocket to find it empty of any sow
I saw two broken twigs on the ground
Shaped like the Greek letters F and S
F and S, helium, F and S
These are the chemical symbols for iron and sulfur
It was a sign, I'm sure, for me
To make gold from these two elements
I have been working all day over these hellish flames
Locked in his bedroom
He saw the world
A web of action
And cum shot girls
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Don't bother blaming
His games and guns
He's only playing
And boys just want to have fun
He picked a soundtrack
And packed his bag
He hung his Walkman
Around his neck
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
It's so simple
The way they fall
No bang or whimper
No sound at all
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick, boom
