The Giant Swan's got ghosts in his wings His guts are stuffed with polaroids, and they're all humiliating And when the wine's drunk and the wild cabaret has sung i's last voice And you're sitting all alone in the 4 AM darkness of a pitch-black theater He explodes like fireworks on the stage with gold smoke Sing, your voice just won't stop blooming He wrote a play and you're the protagonist All the girls you wish you fucked make a guest appearance And, oh, you just won't believe the ending So fly me home, Giant Swan The Giant Swan's got a pixelated beak SongtexteHis eyes are twin mushroom clouds His feathers are unsuspecting cities And his breasts are hollow apartments with the finest quality furnishings And you can watch TV until you die there Skin draped over luxury chairs Sing, your voice just won't stop blooming Your heart's a diamond, buddy, what's the price? Your heart's a diamond, what's the fucking price? Your skin is shaved and your hair is shitty Sit and watch the ballerinas kick and spin And strip down to your vulgar skeleton You better take one more drink of Captain Morgan's rum It's gonna sting like a raw sunrise when the Giant Swan's gone Back at the resort, the curtain's closed You haven't left the room for two solid weeks With a pound of cocaine under the bed Where the call girls perform their services And you leave CNN on so you won't think about Her newborn son who entered this town from the crotch you're renting out Who's at the door? What the fuck! Who's at the door? What the fuck! Who's at the door? What the fuck! Your heart is sweating; your hands are turning black Your shadow breaks in wearing a ski mask Is that a machete at your throat? "Give me all your money! Give me all your dope!" And the sun's like a painting of your whole life You scratch at the canvas, but you can't get inside The sun's like a painting of your whole life You scratch at the canvas, but you can't get inside Your family's gurglin' grief You think you're just asleep Is that the curtain closing? Giant Swan, take me to the river Is that my breast corroding? Giant Swan, take me to the river All the things you wish you said Are buried with your X'd out head All your ulterior motives Giant Swan, take me to the river Giant Swan, take me to the river Giant Swan, take me to the river Aus Songtexte Mania
