Lemon Yellow Black

(album: Orange Rhyming Dictionary - 1998)

Do you know what would be good right here?
Some yellow
A touch of humility; original sin or two from you
Half the math, double the myth; they told you to
No aftertaste, no residue
Chop chop, you're through

Our good order taker has what it takes to make it
It's up to you
Unflinching trigger finger
Coffee fetcher to the letter
See it through

Riddles don't stupefy because at the moment
We want to not know you to better know you
Don't be so German
Pick it up; prick up the usual amount
No fingerprints, no proper names
Our finest scotch to wash it down

Good French collaborator
We heard you made great waiters
Make us proud
No job too small or messy
Your lack of feeling, pleasing
We'll keep you around

Daughters of the revolution, you're freezing in your furs
Well-healed atrocities show that finishing school is done
The appropriate responses are wrong for once in your life, man, just think
Unemployed war heroes, hating this peace time march

That's right
That's right
These things come back to you
