lyrics

The only song people sing is, "The President's Dead,"
all ignoring the kings with their scepters left in bed.
But soon we'll all be rocking out to "4:33,"
because no one gives a damn about how the song's affecting me.

Well, she heard a lot of rumors but they never broke the tomb --
just dotted with darts and some cartoon heirlooms.
The sharks all sound like minnows when you're humming that tune --
all dotted with darts and some cartoon heirlooms.

They've got a toaster on the TV with an artificial gleam,
burning hands and hopes and hair gel with a superficial scheme.
But I am too damned proud to let them tug my limbs;
the horses' ropes have all frayed against the original skin.

Oh, she heard a lot of rumors but they never broke the tomb --
just dotted with darts and some cartoon heirlooms.
The sharks all sound like minnows when you're humming that tune --
all choking on darts and some cartoon heirlooms.

But who knows where the timing goes?
Oh, who knows where the timing goes?
Oh, who knows where the timing goes?
Oh, who knows where the timing goes?

And they just hype the blind pipe 'til the shoes don't fit.
They just hype the blind pipe 'til the shoes don't fit.
All my friends are lonely fountains, all my friends are lonely fountains,
all my friends are lonely fountains leaking 'til I drown.

She heard a lot of rumors but they never broke the tomb --
just dotted with darts and some cartoon heirlooms.
The sharks all sound like minnows when you're humming that tune --
all dotted with darts and some cartoon heirlooms.

But who knows where the timing goes?
Oh, who knows where the timing goes?
Just sea-bound, lost and brave in those underwater waves.
Just sea-bound, lost and brave in those underwater waves.

All the best storms are silent, all the best storms are silent,
all the best storms are silent, all the best storms are silent.
Quiet down now! Quiet down now! Quiet down now! Quiet down now!
Quiet down now! Quiet down now! Quiet down now!
