lyrics

a wish to walk as the crows fly
disassociated by moving obstacles
acid rain falls on my head
I am bothered by disfigured weather

don’t fit me into an architect’s plan
make me hardware, maybe a doorknob
twist my head with your green-stained hands
open your doors at my expense

make me an object you can hold
make me an object cast from a mold

inanimate, inanimate, I am inanimate
inanimate, inanimate, I am just as you wish

don’t fit me into an architect’s plan
make me hardware, maybe a doorknob
twist my head with your green-stained hands
open your doors at my expense

put me in a police line up
pick me out from the other bums

inanimate, inanimate, I am inanimate
inanimate, inanimate, I am just as you wish
