Amanda Palmer - Strength Through Music lyrics

A peculiar thing happened to me this morning

Just as I reached into my pocket to find it empty of any sou

I saw two broken twigs on the ground,

Shaped like the Greek letters "F" and "S"

"F" and "S," Helium, "F" and "S"

These are the chemical symbols for iron and sulfur

It was a sign, I’m sure, for me to make gold from these two elements

I have been working all day, over these hellish flames

Locked in his bedroom

He saw the world

A web of answers

And cumshot girls

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Don’t bother blaming

These games and guns

He’s only playing

And boys just want to have fun

He picked a soundtrack

And packed his bag

He hung his Walkman

Around his neck

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

It’s so simple

The way they fall

No cry, no whimper

No sound at all

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick

Boom
