Cake - Commissioning A Symphony In C lyrics

Album: Comfort Eagle (2001)

So you will be an austria nobleman
commissioning a symphony in C
which defies all earthly descriptions
you will be commssioning a symphony in C
with money you squeezed from the peasants
to your nephew you can give it as a present
this magnificent symphony in C, you will be
comissioning a symphony in C

completely filling the palace concert hall
it is warm & golden like an oven that is wide open
it has a melody both happy & sad
built on victorious young triads
you have entered the room with great caution
though no one in the hall is even watching
they´re transfixed they´re forgetting just to breathe
they´re so taken by your symphony in C

You are sitting there thinking your thoughts
they´re not about what is but what isn´t
your sitting there breathing in your breath
you´re seldom breathing life, but mostly death

So you will be an austria nobleman
commissioning a symphony in C
which defies all earthly descriptions
you will be commssioning a symphony in C
