The loop is closing around the bull
The mailmen zip through postal codes
The gerrymandered elect unshapely men
Who comb their hairs across each others' heads
The transit system is hiding underground
Too afraid to make a sound
The planes above us tip-toe cloud to cloud
And the evening newsman can't be found
Dun-de-dun-dun-day (I wake up every day)
With nothing left to say
The committeemen agree
That's what they said last week
And the mayor hasn't made a sound
Since he choked on coffee grounds
And a silence fills the sky
In the mean time
In the mean time
Yeah-yeah
