They Might Be Giants
Robert Lowell (I Am 40: Memories of West St. and Lepke)
[Verse 1]
Two toy American flags
Jaundice-yellow; it's really tan
On the roof and tranquilized
Pajama fresh suburban
[Refrain]
I am 40, given a year
In Robert Lowell's electric chair
[Verse 2]
Jailbird entanglement day
Blew their tops and beat him blue
Drifting lobotomized calm
Reappraisals in the air
[Refrain]
I am 40, given a year
In Robert Lowell's electric chair
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Two toy American flags
Jaundice-yellow; it's really tan
On the roof and tranquilized
Pajama fresh suburban
[Refrain]
I am 40, given a year
In Robert Lowell's electric chair
