lyrics

Say pleased to meet me so discretely as you hold out your hand
The placeholders, reheat leftovers, can be so bland
I'm such a sucker, a guest conductor, now strike up the band
Strike up the band, strike up the band

It's a car crash that's meant to collide
Nobody's hurt, now that is a lie
In a mad dash to save one's pride
Time to quit and split and sit and now
I'm fixin to die

After take off and the payoff are heights so grand
Another letdown, King Shit of Shit-town, is ready to land
March to the sea, get burnt for free, and break up the band
Break up the band, break up the band

It's a car crash that's meant to collide
Nobody's hurt, now that is a lie
In a mad dash to save one's pride
Time to quite and split and sit now
I'm fixin to die

I'm such a sucker, a guest conductor
March to the sea, get burnt for free
Strike up the band, strike up the band
Break up the band, break up the band
