Is it efficient Or does it kill With the skill of a cluster bomb? It'll take time But you know it will If I happen to live that long If you would listen to me Things wouldn't seem so gloomy Now you keep jamming up the gears And I can't see through the smears And everything's exactly as it appears More I love you more I love you more than I did before But now it's either or Or neither nor And when I think about you I start turning green And it shakes me up inside Cause it used to be the color of your eyes Everywhere I go I see your ghost The spirit of '91 You said you loved me more than toast But less than a staplegun Is this the wrong direction? That's such a stupid question Now when you make a sacrifice You're supposed to get a wish Why does this only work in theory not practice? More I love you more I love you more than I did before But now it's not allowed You're not around I see you going out And everything goes black And I start to fall apart It reminds me of the color of your heart I miss you more than mud Lost you more than blood Knead you more than dough I love you more than toast More I love you more I love you more than I did before But now we're in a war And what's it for? I read your horoscope And everything is clear And it feels a little weird Cause it used to be the color of your tears.
