Jim Loeffler's Electric Orbit

Lyrics

All your apparent planning
For me and you
Was not for me
Just for you
How can you love rainbows
When you just can’t tolerate pink or blue

Find a home to lay my paper bones

The organ grinder hums a tune
She dare not let you listen to
The sum of my parts is worth
More than your soul
The harvest is in
Was I such a sin
To have been alive without the chance to begin

Inside outside
I’m out of place
But I wonder what you do
So you don’t have to face the truth
Disassembly required
I’m nothing but a healthy leper to you

Find a home to lay my paper bones

The organ grinder hums a tune
She dare not let you listen to
The sum of my parts is worth
More than your soul
The harvest is in
Was I such a sin
To have been alive without the chance to begin

Now that you’ve taken all of me
Don’t you see
I can’t my eyes were sold to satisfy
Your ghoulish greed
Oh no my heart just skipped a beat
Be quick collect your fee
The auction’s high
Bid me a good buy

Leave me in peace to rest my paper bones

The organ grinder hums a tune
She dare not let you listen to
The sum of my parts is worth
More than your soul
The harvest is in
Was I such a sin
To have been alive without the chance to begin
