lyrics

I lit the fuse; I primed the start
I played confused, behaved as if I had no part
I hurled abuse to fell the faint of heart
Then chalked it up to the vicissitudes of art

That might’ve worked; it had before
The similarities were too much to ignore
A wiser man would have anticipated more
If not a war

But precious few have a single clue
Why they act as they do
An object of contempt and the least exempt
Now stands before you

Mine was the hand that tossed the dart
A fellow never thought himself to be so smart
I put my celebration well before the cart
I blamed it all on the vicissitudes of art

That might’ve worked as once it had
I figured that the fallout wouldn’t be so bad
I underestimated you by just a tad
Isn’t that sad?

So here we go, back to the start
How to atone for my mishandling of your heart?
I’ll have to mend the things that once I tore apart
Now whither goest the vicissitudes of art?
