A Thousand Little Downers - Bell X1

The radio says

We gotta pay up by tonight

The radio says

We gotta pay up by tonight

It’s a constant dribble,

A weeping sore

Death by a thousand little downers

I hear them all spilling

Out on the floor

Death by a thousand little downers

The operator says

Our call is important

The operator says

Our call is important

Well they’ll find me swinging

From the menu tree

Death by a thousand little downers

And then I’ll go play with the

Ghosts in the machine

Death by a thousand little downers

The disclaimer says

May cause death or injury

The disclaimer says

May cause death or injury

Thanks for letting us

Know of the danger

Death by a thousand little downers

but why bring the fear

To the simple pleasures?

A thousand little downers

When you’re poorly

I’ll bring you flowers and grapes,

Flowers and grapes

When you’re poorly

And eat them myself

One more little downer

The vacant lot says

Excellent retail opportunity

The vacant lot says

Excellent retail opportunity

But I can’t help thinking of

Those broken dreams

Death by a thousand little downers

Her hand on his shoulder as

He stares at the screen

Death by a thousand little downers
