All the stars so soft and tender
dare not glisten in november
save their light all through december
shun the darkness but remember
paths are made from liquid stone
people live and die alone

Long ago
not far from here
if you want
I'll take you there
a woman gave unwanted birth
to the tallest man on earth

The world is full of bones in drawers
concrete-bats and sewer-crawlers
Schrödinger's been killed by his cat
Frankenstein has brought him back
now he dwells within his home
live and breathe and die alone

Get a job
get out of here
go now go
it's drawing near
you can't wait to grow up first
you're the tallest man on earth

Love is built on wasted wishes
risen up from bloody tristesse
millions through the years deceive
in this world of make-believe
because when the rest is gone
you don't want to die alone

Quit your job
get out of here
go now go
they're coming near
angry people out to hurt
kill the tallest man on earth

All alone
within a room
might as well
within the womb
throat and stomach raw from thirst
dies the tallest man on earth
