Trendspotter Acrobat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trendspotter acrobat got no falling room
Choking on an ego size of one of Jupiter's moons
Slowly shrugs on his coat, walks out in the rain
Dismayed to see it hasn't rained in days
[Refrain]
I will buy the drinks if you promise not to ask me what I think
[Verse 2]
Pop culture diplomat throws up on his shoes
Burping up an epigram while blood flows from his wounds
Slowly shrugs on his coat, staggers through the shine
A million bedtime stories on his mind

[Solo]
[Verse 3]

Falling apart is as easy as sitting down
Slowly peels off his coat, throws it on the floor
Nothing really matters anymore
[Refrain]
I will buy the drinks if you promise not to tell me what you think

On the recording:
Anyway. I took my homework assignment seriously. I...
