I'm gonna steal some bedsheets
From an amputee
I'm gonna mount em on a canvas
In the middle of the gallery
I'm gonna tell everybody it was painted by a chimpanzee
But just between you me
Here at the cultural low water mark
If it's fraud or art
They'll pay you to believe

I'm gonna take five young dudes
From white families
Gonna mount em on a billboard
In the middle of the country
I'm gonna tell everybody they sing like angels with whiter teeth
But just between you and me
They're just like the ones before
With their standards lower
Every concert goer will pay you to believe

Caffeine in the morning, alcohol at night
Cameras to record you and mirrors to recognize
And as the world is getting smaller
Small things take up all your time
Narcissus would have had a field day if he could have got online
And friends it's not self-love that kills you
It's when those who hate you are allowed
To sell you that you're a glorious shit the entire world revolves around
And that you're the eater, and not the eaten
But that your hunger will only cease
If you come binge on radiant blandness at the disposable feast

Just quickly how would you rate yourself
In terms of sex appeal and cultural significance 
Do you usually listen to music like this
We can recommend some similar artists
Are you feeling depressed?
But your feedback's important
To us

Gonna buy myself a sports team
And put em in a pit
Gonna wage the old crusade
Against consciousness
All I need is a couple winners to get every loser to fight in it
You keep the golden calf
I just need the bullshit
They won't just sell themselves into slavery
They'll get on their knees and pay you to believe

G Herbo - Lord Knows feat. Joey Bada$$

A live cover. Track #2 on Father John Misty's album Fear Fun.

Nancy From Now On (Father John Misty Cover)

I'll tiptoe under your sheets
She swims the jealous sea
And through her waves I will row
I row to save; I will row

I'm just another face at your door
It's the sign you've been waiting for
And I will marry myself into your waves
Oh just say, "I do," 'cus i'm yours to stay

But that was when we weren't made out of stone
Our chest is open, but not cold
It's such a shame that we have to part
Our love is divvied up in gold

The things that I want are not things that I love
(But that's no reason to sigh)
I float along oceans and then sing their songs
(The drought it changes our lives)
Keep me focused and tamed and perfect and clean
(Don't need another hole)
She carries me on her back; the world is hers
(Until she gets old) 

I'm just another face at your door
It's the sign you've been waiting for
And I will marry myself into your waves
Oh just say, "I do," 'cus i'm yours to stay

And hold me close
It's your voice that I want to hear to bring me home
And keep me still
Oh my passion is my only thrill

And you'll know, oh you'll know
About life and how it goes
And you'll see yourself in me
