About Me

Song For a Passing Ambulance
[The first song from Operetta's new unreleased third album.]
Does it feel good when the razor eats
away your skin? I bet it does,
gives you the sense of control buzz
that you crave.
Being rejected never felt so sweet,
as I drink drink drink my life away,
Piss in the middle of the street, ok
I’m too far gone.
Too intoxicated to remember
Smoke another pox of lovely cancer,
because cause cause cause cause cause
that’s what it’s all about.
That’s what it’s all about.
That’s what it’s all about.

Loving to be in the in crowd,
but wanting so bad so bad to be out.
Stuck in limbo and I have no doubt
what my life’s about.
I don’t need your pity, your tears
will not save me. Here I go again…
pop another pill, make an illusion
of how happy I’m suppose to be.
Numb, numb, numb…dumb, dumb, dumb.
In the name of the father and the name of the son,
in the name of the holy ghost.
Since when do we believe in ghosts?

There the only ghost that haunts us
is our past…slowly creeping in.
Gonna gonna bite us on our ass
I’ve been working all my life.
Hang ourselves from lampposts high,
in the quiet quiet quiet city sky
please don’t wah wah wonder why
I’m trying to make a point.
---------------------------------
Here I go, here I’ll go again.
I’m making sure, I’ll make pretend
that this blow hits heavier & harder than
the one I’m about to GET!
I win.
Little brother steps in
and he screams at the top of his lungs to………..STOP!
and he screams at the top of his lungs to……….STOP!
He’s too far gone.
From the lampposts way up high, see the
beauty beauty beauty beautiful lives
with their beauty beauty beauty beautiful lies.
They’re utterly utterly alive.
Point made. Made a point. Point be.
This will not not not not not get to me.
not not not not not get to me.
I’m almost through.
Operetta often appears in cartoon form.
Watching this is equivalent to an Operetta show.
