Sentimental Ties

Lyrics

When a cell divides The replicators rave about the change Yet no ones taking sides You walk around the zoo And throw a piece of meat inside the cage It's where you'll soon reside Papers on the floor and, yes, the doors are open wide You can see the hips revolving As the sunset slowly dies Patients in their rooms The orderlies are burning up the trays They wavе a fond goodbye Lunch will now be servеd An empty bowl of nothing with your name And mirrors to remind We attempt to fill the cupboard As the china fell So they cut the lines of credit And we tumble into hell Oh, sentimental ties! Oh, sentimental ties! Keep the liquor pourin', baby, oh! Keep that champagne flowin', baby, oh! Towers shining lights The guards are paid to keep you in the stands You're always in their sights One time long ago You told them you liked working with your hands Much to their delight The sentimental fools The sentimental hides The sentimental loops The sentimental ties Time to crack the whip The buggy ride was bumpy to the end The travel agent lied The sentimental tick The sentimental tock The sentimental talk The sentimental walk The sentimental ties!
