lyrics

MENAGE A MOI

Is it so sick
To strike
The flame to your own wick?
My candle lights the darkest niche
Of which - the edge is dangling off the ledge
Adhesives cannot fix
A screw can't do the trick
Because it isn't made of magic

My mirror face
I chase
Through halls of my reflection
Handsome as a wall of bricks
Flame licks the ice thrice times two tainted tubers
Under inspection
The most modest section
Lifetime series of erections

(prechorus)
I'm cheating on myself
Cheating on myself
With myself
With myself
(x2)
Ooh la la menage a moi

(chorus)
The opinion is there's no way it is
OK to be a narcissist
Loving all you touch

You should be humble and grey and gradeless
Never saying: "yeah I made this
I am such the much"

You're just a lump of meat
For the eaten repeaters to grind to dull treats

Your smile's a burden - stop
Your happy wizardry's spoiling misery's plot

You're like the weather: vain
From self and harmony abstain
Into the grain
There til you're morbidly plain

I'm civilized
An intricate numerical device
For making sense of naught
A pot
To piss a tempest into
Thoughts lost in ever onslaught
A tail that's never caught
A womb bloomed in it's own pile of rot
What?

(pre&pro-choruses)

Mine - mineminemine
I am mine
Not your design
Not here to hold up your sign
Never thine

about

It&i Portland, Oregon

It&i is a delightfully odd one-man-band, who performs punky/dancy/cabaret/pop originals. The drums are played with his feet, and he runs an acoustic guitar through an array of effects, and live looping, while tooting on a hodgepodge of homemade gadgetry. With a love for eclecticness, and carnivalesqueness, It&i believes in writing well crafted songs, full of exciting twists and turns. ... more
