Oscar Wilde (Came Here To Make Fun Of You) Lyrics by John Murry

the stars are god’s bullet holes.

2021

[Verse 1]
I bought fertilizer and brake fluid
Who in the hell am I supposed to trust?
Sympathy ends in gas chambers
Oklahoma city shoulda been enough
Bought us a four wheel drive
Mama, you go get the gun
We'll pack all these postcards
Sell what's left and run
[Verse 2]
The giving of blood begets the drawing of it by thieves
Things will get interesting now
I was holding onto you
You let go of me
[Verse 3]
Oscar wilde
Came here to make fun of you
To dress well and play bridge
So why the hell can't I do the same?
Who are these architects of indifference?
All I hear are helicopters
Threshing the pale sky
Shining their lights and flying low
And treating us like we're criminals
Man, I'd rather be deemed a criminal
Than be a player in their nocturnes
Preludes to dying in my sleep
In another sunburned country of greed
Swifter than any shadow, shorter than any dream
[Verse 4]
Sauvage crowds swirl beneath bare trees
The thorny truth is growing sharp
I relive that season in hell
Trying to eulogize the dark
With the wind now at our heels
The noose and whip won't be far behind
So go on and reel off all your requiems
I'm done crying
We kneel before you drunk pale and insane
Looking for an exit sign from this senseless game
When the forest of the night
Has been torched and is burning bright
Tell me what immortal hand or eye
Is gonna give a damn enough to cry
When everyday is like huffing lighter fluid
Take me to reading gaol with Oscar Wilde
I'll get used to it
Lock me up in clerkenwell prison
I'll blow a hole right through it
Doo doo doo doo doo dodo dodo
If I didn't have to hustle all these second-hand stories
This wouldn't be a joke
[Outro]
Doo doo doo doo doo dodo dodo
Doo doo doo doo doo dodo dodo
Doo doo doo doo doo dodo dodo
Doo doo doo doo doo dodo dodo
