Sponge

[Intro]
One, two, ready, go

[Verse 1]
Pleasure is melting like chocolate
My blue ribbon gumption is gone
All my gravy must have soaked into something

[Chorus]
And the world

[Verse 2]
The filthy steps, the cold concrete
The phony earth below my feet
The ancient odor of the streets

[Chorus]
Yes, the world, it is a sponge
The world

[Verse 3]
And when the crisis passes
When the coast is clear
I'll be buffed down to a liquid

[Chorus]
And the world, it is a sponge
The world, it is a sponge
The world

[Verse 4]
Throughout this entire ugly outing
I've been mumbling the convex of what I should be shouting
But I'll soon be silent, you'll soon hear nothing

[Chorus]
'Cause the world, it is a sponge
The world, it is a sponge
The world, it is a sponge
