I've clipped the fins right off my goldfish new He'll be better off at the bottom of the bowl Down in this hole As earthbound as the bird inside your cage Or the dolls of wax inside my soul I am the mole You scorch my skin with the wax off your wings How much longer? how much longer? How high can you fly before...? Excelsior! Two sides of a sore Two sides of a sore Standing in the shower trying to scrub off all the dirt But it's no use to wipe my ass or scrub until it hurts It makes it worse Cause in the outside world the shit still sticks No matter if you're getting kicked or getting your kicks The shit still sticks You scorch my skin with the wax off your wings How much longer? how much longer? How high can you fly before...? Excelsior! Two sides of a sore Two sides of a sore We're different sides of the same sore We're different sides of the same sore We're different sides of the same sore We're different sides of the same sore
