Capsize Lyrics by Skeleton Staff

Psychomorphism

2011

[Intro: Stanton]
He looked into the mirror saying "who’s a pretty boy"?
I’m just so sexy in my leather pants I’m Latin after all
But I’m so sick and tired of waiting
For the company to call
I coulda made a million bucks
And I could make a million more

[Pre-Chorus: Stanton, Godfrey, Lucy, and Festus]
He wants to be a big wig
(He wants to be a big wig)
But success has gone to his head
(success has gone to his head)
And now the cut from the company (He's cut)
Is hanging by a thread (a thread)

[Chorus: Stanton]
They stuck some dollar signs in his eyes
They spat some truth into their lies
And while he’s reachin’ for the skies
His head had got too big for his capsize

[Verse: Stanton, Godfrey, Lucy, and Festus]
He fell under the spell of the tall man in the top hat
And then he fell under the spell of his magical white rabbit
And all the press were all impressed
With his shop-worn studied distress
And now they’re falling all about to name-check his antecedents

His borrowed mannerisms (his borrowed mannerisms)
His very own purple parody prison ([?] the number one)
And now the fashion ([?] the number one)
He’d hung his hopes and Cashion's
Been upstaged

They stuck some dollar signs in his eyes
(Stuck some dollars in his eyes)
They spat some truth into their lies an'
(Spat some truth into their lies)
While he’s reachin’ for the skies (Skies)
His head had got too big for his capsize

[Bridge: Stanton]
Now it was so hard to imagine
That so many things had changed
He had to take it in his stride
And quietly bow and leave the stage
But he forgets in 15 years when he’s pushing retirement age
The fashion he was is revived now he can draw a decent wage

[Chorus: Stanton, Godfrey, Lucy, and Festus]
They stuck some dollar signs in his eyes
(stuck some dollars in his eyes)
They spat some truth into their lies
(Spat some truth into their lies)
And while he’s reachin’ for the skies (Skies)
His head had got too big for his capsize

[Outro: All and Stanton]
Oh yeah
His head’s so heavy now that he’ll capsize
