James Cagney Throws the Grapefruit in My Face

from A Wide Range of Perversions in Explicit Detail by Monaural

about

RE-CONCEPTUALIZATION of "The Purple Rose of Cairo" from Squirrel Songs.

The process of reincarnation and yet living on.

lyrics

Have you ever been lonely
Are you here or are you solely
In the landscape as a detail
Between retail, on dusk-dawn prevail

Have you lost your consciousness
Have you drifted in-out on the space
Right to where your spirit ends
And where your expenditure for vessel waits

Between man, flor, faun and thing
You pass them all by, you pass them all by
And white transfer blinding ring
Is this all a lie? Is this all a lie?

Have you spoken through cliché
Did you gain social thoroughway
Or are you contracted through disease
To let it sink into your veins at ease

Square-locked jaw inspirational
From ad to ad your spokesman roams
Bringing in through pneumatic sales
Subliminal suggestions between episodes

Between man, flor, faun and thing
You pass them all by, you pass them all by
And white transfer blinding ring
Is this all a lie? Is this all a lie?

(James Cagney throws the grapefruit in my face)
Between man, flor, faun and thing
You pass them all by, you pass them all by
(Life is a steady stream that’ll come soon, Asriel)
And white transfer blinding ring
Is this all a lie? Is this all a lie?

And then I fall
Through metaphysical walls
Discovering intrinsical
Moments of temporal relevance
The grapefruit lies on cheekbone
Thrown by a man playing wrath-consumed
Zoned by performance, I presume

Between man, flor, faun and thing
You pass them all by, you pass them all by
And white transfer blinding ring
Is this all a lie? Is this all a lie?

(James Cagney throws the grapefruit in my face)
Between man, flor, faun and thing
You pass them all by, you pass them all by
(Life is a steady stream that’ll come soon, Asriel)
And white transfer blinding ring
Is this all a lie? Is this all a lie?
