ist - Toothpick Bridge - Released August 17th, 2009
Company of Sense
When the switchboard lights up
In a company town
A dozen five-star restaurateurs cross themselves
And take your caricature down
As the papers debate the contents of your veins
Your crisis team books up the late night talk shows
Your childhood is handed the blame
They say darkness falls for a reason
You say your star will rise again
Tonight you're on the cusp of treason
Here in the company of sense
When you think with your dick
And she thinks with her purse
The Daily Mail sets up another trust fund
As another lynch mob is dispersed
With your wife at your side
And with trembling voice
You vow to fight until your name is cleared
And thank God you never liked boys
They say darkness falls for a reason
You say your star will rise again
Tonight you're on the cusp of treason
Here in the company of sense
The judge swallows down a there-but-for-the-grace
As the redtops tear you a new id
But tumbleweeds rolls when you say, "Jung at heart
Ain't the same thing as fiddling kids"
Still you'd give your right ball
For a war to break out
Or a neglected city to drown
Before your name's transformed into a verb from a noun
(c) 2009 ist
