Verse 1

You'd be surprised if you looked through the eyes of a no---va
Not recognizing the molehills on top of the star   
Cheerful and swollen he waves from his seat in a Rover
That is his car

Verse 2

You wouldn't doubt him to shake the most powerful hands of importance
changing the world as we know it by leaving his ink   
To judge from the fence 'round his house he must love all his children
That's what you think

Chorus

But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ev-er get
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
But it goes to show
That the man I know - 

Verse 3

Is kissing that check that he had lifted up for her fortyfirst birth - day
Love is when someone you trust cuts a smile in your face   
Boy had a dog and poor girl had a stroke like an earthquake
Now dog is a bird

Chorus

But there's no time to think
Have a pill and a shrink
Just don't show us how you sweat
Making love to your kids
is the last love that you will ev-er get
You're a vanishing image of what I thought I knew
But it comes to show
That the man I know
Has a fa----ding glow
In a white lampshade - 

Outro Verse 1

Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his soul
Did you protect all the horrible
I shall tear you apart so that everyone knows
What he's been carrying around

Outro Verse 2

Tell me lampshade what is it you are trying to hide
Under your stinky old corduroy
I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnel of light
That I've been choking on always 

Outro Verse 3

There is a dog barking close within the range of my ear
Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
He would probably bite me to death if he could
But the chain lets me spit in his face

Outro Verse 4

Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it's neck
This man is tied to his secrecy (solo starts here)
I would like to have killed him off in this last verse
But instead I removed his lampshade
