He fell in love with her hair
He wanted it
He wanted her
And so he took her
To Hawaii on a package vacation
But that wasn't enough for her
On dark, wet and windy nights
The villagers could hear her wailing lament
"Where, oh where has my little dog gone?
And where is my prince?
And which is which?"
And so the years passed
Until one day she saw Thor
You know Thor
Northern European, big on thunder
Not a refined kind of guy
Okay, he eats with his mouth open
But what can you expect from a primeval deity?
You want manners, go for Talleyrand
This girl wanted Thor
The moment she laid eyes on him she said
"I've got to have him
I've absolutely got to have him"
And so she went out and she got him
And we said, like why?
Why Thor?
And she said
"Thor is so strong, so mighty
Thor is the perfect thing for that
Victorian nightie I've been waiting to wear
And this time I plan to suffer beautifully
I know you'll understand"
So hey, we said, go for it
Do it in the majors
But maybe we should have told her
He's rough
He's on the hoof
And that's not what we want, is it?
It's the impression of sauvage that is tantalizing
The reality is not appealing
The reality is impolite
And smells bad
Hark, the millennium is nigh
Bring on the tellers of fortunes
The sorcerers, the mountebanks
The hypnotists, the purveyors of eternal youth
Drape me in chains of fancy
Mainline me with quicksilver
Entomb me in a crystal cave
So I can sleep alone for a thousand years
But not, alas, forever
For the worm that flies in the night in the howling storm
Will find out my bed of crimson joy
And his dark love will my dreams destroy
You won't be lonely anymore
You won't be lonely anymore
So what's next?
Which brute should we honor?
Whose pride should we swell?
What lie should we buttress with the faith that will move mountains?
Whose head can we hammer?
Whose heart can we crush?
Whose flesh can we feed on?
Whose self-respect can we grind away to nothing?
More, more, a thousand times more
And still not satisfied
Have you ever noticed there's no empathy for the object of desire?
Take food for example
Yummy, smells so nice
Reminds you of mom
Makes you feel infantile
I want it
That's mine
Mine, mine, mine
I've got my hand on it
My brand on it
That's no longer in circulation
It's all mine
I want it
And I'm going to get it
That's how I change it from something I haven't had
To something I have had
From something I haven't had
To something I have had
That is, from something I want
Into something I don't want
Into nothing
Into less than nothing
I'm gonna have that
And having had it
I'm gonna make it
Less than nothing
Before me it's an object of desire
After me it's shit
That's what we eaters do
We turn stuff to shit
And run the remains out at the proper level
Which is down, you understand?
Way down
Below
Because we don't ever want to see that shit again
Oh no, yuck
It's disgusting
Get that out of my sight
Get it out of my house
Out of my life
Flush it down the toilet
Flush it into the sewers below the city
Way down there
Below the city
We're up here on top
That's where we're supposed to be
Top of the heap
You've got to look smart to stay up here on top of the heap
Look smart or next thing you know
Somebody will come along and turn you into shit
It's a regular feeding frenzy up here on the heap
That's why we have to turn as much as possible to shit
So we can run it out at its proper level
Which is down, you understand?
Way down there
Below us
Well, below me anyway
I'm not so sure about you
Who's next?
Whose delicate brow can I anoint with Paco Rabanne?
Whose hair can I pick through looking for lice?
How white the princess is this evening
From which stone does she yearn for empathy?
The rose fell in love with a silk stocking full of mud
He knew the pleasure of loving a fool
Ah, the ecstatic oneness of it
If we two become one
Which one will we be?
I am in love
So wonderfully in love
His hair is like ebony
His skin like ivory
And his eyes look into forever
He is my prince
The light of my life
And I found him in the window of Le Chateau
The only man who has ever really understood me
Inside, I mean
I know
He knows
I know
Words aren't necessary
Give me your dirty hand
I think we're getting somewhere
Of course, we'll have to dye your hair
And you will kill yourself in the end
Is that a problem?
I hate this
Forgive me
