| ==Lyrics==
| |
| <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
| |
| </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.")
