Captured by a crack in the walk
My attention, by a thread, unshakable
One day I will undermine you all
A murder in the bath, my boyfriend
The landlord touched me where he shouldn't have
The rabbit in my head will run no more
Then it all came back to me
Condition....Condition
I remain, humbly, your tool
A penguin in the yard, a drip
A ringing bell, a hunchback midget band
A cracker for a bleak and hungry girl
Then it all came back to me
Condition....Condition
I remain, humbly, your tool
Then it all came back to me
Roman waiting in the hall
A framed photograph and Helen through the wall
Then it all came back to me
Condition....Condition
I remain, humbly, your tool

It happened on a day
Not unlike today
The coffee filled my cup
But love remained an empty hole
Eventually,
Above me only blue,
But a threatening kind of hue,
A fiery meteor cracked open
From the molten glow
It appeared,

Her from Planet Fur
Could never tempt a man like me
I'm to well grounded I don't need
That kind of bourgeois frivolity
Well she can go back
To where she came from
For all I care
Her from Planet Fur, from Planet Fur

I gathered up my nerve
And breached a girlish curve
It bit back like a dog
Or maybe I imagined that a radio
Crackled in my throat,
And I thought I heard the note,
Of an anthem you can't hum
And while I pondered
Around my feet a tentacle

Her from Planet Fur
With that pale pink complexion
And in your mouth a cocked ray-gun
Tied to a bed of aluminum
Well, She can go back
To where she came from
For all I care
Her from Planet Fur, from Planet fur

Her from Planet Fur
With every boy wrapped tightly around
Her finger, She won't let them down,
A pinch of flesh for every pound,
I'm to well grounded, I don't need
That type of bourgeois frivolity,
Well She can go back
To where she came from, for all I care

Her from Planet Fur, from Planet Fur

I don't like to talk out of turn
But I really can't hold my tongue
Watching you crumble from within
Got the better of me, my love

And did you lie
When you declared out loud
I'd like to take my own life
But I'm afraid
And I wonder if I'll find the nerve today

I don't let my feelings show
But I'm already in too deep
I try to forget you for a while
I can't help but feel incomplete

And did you lie
When you declared out loud
I'd like to be a child again
And fly away
And i wonder if I'll find the nerve today

Aquaman can't find
Agent 99 in the dark
Oh, how I know
That dream by heart

And I didn't lie
When I declared out loud
You're the only one
I give a damn about
Anyway

Maybe I'll follow you
From work today
Maybe I'll ride home
With you on the train
Maybe I'll walk behind you
To be sure
Then hide behind a paperback
I've read before

I'll die if I know you've been untrue
If I can't have you

I wake up with a pain
I can't begin to share
I wake up phone in hand
In 3 day underwear
I wake up and I call you
But get your machine
I wonder where you are
And then I fall into a dream

I'll die if I know you've been untrue
If I can't have you

I'm getting ready
I'll be over, count to 10
I'm getting ready
I can't wait to live again

I'll die if I know you've been untrue
If I can't have you
If I know you've been untrue
If I can't have you

Look up there do you feel alone
Look up there into the black
I didn't mean, no never meant
I wish you'd shut your mouth for awhile

Look up there I hate to complain
Other men want you hard
I didn't think, no I never thought
I got a feeling like I'm on trial

Calling Jupiter, why, oh, why do we
Calling Jupiter, fight over nothing
Revealed an alien and I don't know who you are
You're not real, real to me anymore

Alright, my courage failed
Oh, yeah, I bet you count on that
I didn't plan, no never would
But for tonight let me think I'm the one

Calling Jupiter, why, oh, why do we
Calling Jupiter, fight over nothing
Revealed an alien and I don't know who you are
You're not real, real to me anymore

Calling Jupiter
Revealed an alien
And I don't know who you are
You're not real, real to me
No, real to me anymore
