OEDIPUS REX APPLAUSE

The sickly sitcom starlet strikes a match, it's her last.
She is lying in the gutter with her Hans Christian Andersen back stage pass.

In the shadow of the prison two lover's tongues entwine.
They are vomiting up their promises and drinking 'em down like wine.

And I got another news flash sensation.
It's the same for anyone in any situation -
turn and face the sun that's setting on everyone.

I believe that you believe that it's gonna get better somehow.
But the geiger counter's a clickin' and the chemotherapy's a drippin'
and you're gonna have to face it now.
You gotta turn and face the sun that's setting on everyone.

And the same thing applies as you're poking out your eyes -
you can't turn off the past with your Oedipus Rex applause.
