I wear my plum fedora out into the vanilla world
A world so boring and tedious that I wish for lightning to strike
The pale sun shines on, no storms seem to be in the cards
I slink back into my apartment and hang my fedora by the door

I need a jolt of life, something to energize my brain
Ease my pain, kill some time, rewind the clock to better times
A drink, some medication, maybe warm arms around me
Something to make me want to wear my plum fedora out

Sick and slow and cold as snow, my tumor grows and grows and grows
Blacklung badheart too damned young to be too damned old
A black bicycle pedals across the horizon and I wish it were six white horses
If this is the world's best offering I'll never wear that fedora anymore
Godawful.

Fuck me, this is good. Nice one. And yeah, last stanza - beautiful.
