	~~A thousand tiny airplanes wander through your mother's garden~~
	~~As she paints a golden picture of the way it used~~ to be
	~~I listen as you whistle all of Mozart's major pieces~~
	~~And you're breaking all my records but it doesn't bother me~~
	~~So you've taken all your medals and you're using them as doorstops~~
	~~And you've sold your family diamonds to the madman down the street~~

	~~Well listen here my darling -- you've got to take it slowly~~
	~~They will put you in a fishtank very philosophically~~
	~~Alas I spoke too quickly, I'll rephrase that faulty stanza~~
	~~While you're busy hunting shadows in your castle by the sea~~
	~~So now I'm standing in the alley and you're drawing little circles~~
	~~And you always pay attention to everyone but me~~
	~~</pre>~~
	~~==Notes==~~
	~~There's a recorded version of this that I'm not 100% happy with on the [[MoG]] page. Some of the lines could use a bit of rework*, but overall it says what I want it to.~~

	(*everyone sees "family diamonds" and thinks it's a reference to gonads or something, which it isn't; also "madman down the street" doesn't quite fit. "pawnshop down the street"? I wanted to convey the idea of carelessly abandoning something very precious that you've been given. A bit like this BF5 lyric from "Where's Summer B?": "I tried to tell you, tried to tell you, took a little bit too long / And now your phone is disconnected and your shit's out on the lawn.")

<pre>
A thousand tiny airplanes wander through your mother's garden
As she paints a golden picture of the way it used to be
I listen as you whistle all of Mozart's major pieces
And you're breaking all my records but it doesn't bother me
So you've taken all your medals and you're using them as doorstops
And you've sold your family diamonds to the madman down the street

Well listen here my darling -- you've got to take it slowly
They will put you in a fishtank very philosophically
Alas I spoke too quickly, I'll rephrase that faulty stanza
While you're busy hunting shadows in your castle by the sea
So now I'm standing in the alley and you're drawing little circles
And you always pay attention to everyone but me

There's a recorded version of this that I'm not 100% happy with on the [[MoG]] page. Some of the lines could use a bit of rework*, but overall it says what I want it to.

(*everyone sees "family diamonds" and thinks it's a reference to gonads or something, which it isn't; also "madman down the street" doesn't quite fit. "pawnshop down the street"? I wanted to convey the idea of carelessly abandoning something very precious that you've been given.
