lyrics

Verse:

I am a specter haunting your way of life
I had been itchin' to do television

I am the one who's gonna come and take it all
sitting pretty, in Culver City

I am the dude you refuse to consider
it only made me better, not bitter

yes, it is I, your murderous host
dinner is served, and now for a toast.

Pre-chorus:

Why does it have to be so
s-s-s-sentimental, brother?

If it were easy I guess
you wouldn't want it so bad

Chorus:

I'm the darkest cloud
I'm the witch who switched sky for ground
and now: we're falling towards the sun

When your bubble bursts
I'm the bird, riding on your hearse
pursed, ready to sing my song.

Verse:

"Brush like a dentist," he said as the poison hit
I'd been a fan of his work so I shot him instead

I told a joke and, oh, what a laugh we had
It would have probably got weird so I left it at that.

You should have seen all the things that they wrote
I was fit to be tied I had lied under oath

I was born in the movie on the edge of the screen
is that a fleck in the lens? Nuh-uh, that's me

Pre-chorus:

Why does it have to be so
s-s-s-sentimental, brother?

If it were easy I guess
you wouldn't want it so bad

Chorus:

I'm the darkest cloud
I'm the witch who switched sky for ground
and now: we're falling towards the sun

When your bubble bursts
I'm a bird, riding on your hearse
pursed, ready to sing my song.
