Lyrics to “Missing You: The Incandescent Light Bulb Song”
Seems like yesterday
we used to rock the show
I flip the switch
you rock the glow
So far from being
only luminescent
notoriously
incandescent
but looks ain’t always
what they seem to be
Congress taking
you away from me
this new bulb
costs 10 times more
need a haz-mat crew
when it hits the floor
and the future can’t
wait to see
what they look like
in my vanity
Ridiculous
Night they took
my friend
Try to block it out
but it plays again
they say the change is
what we need to make
got salmonella from
my Easy Bake
give anything to hear
half your breath…
I know you’re still living
you life after death
Every time I see
Every time I read
Every time I breathe
exposed Mercury
I’ll be missing you…
It’s kinda hard
with you not around
new bulb warms up
in like a half an hour
watching us as
we pray for you
every day we
pray for you
until the day
we meet again
in the dark
is where I’m reading fried
give anything to hear
half your breath…
I know you’re still living
your life after death
Somebody tell me why…
If that new light
bulb is so amazing
Then why don’t people just go buy that light bulb?
[End]
