Nellie Mckay - Toto Dies

Toto Dies
Nellie Mckay

And when the dawn breaks through the drums start
beating the morning to the farm
your grimace widens and your lips part
sounding the silent alarm
and when the bells explode they scatter
hitching a hand unto the breeze
the grand bureaucracy grows fatter
whistling the old melodies

ohohohohHey man whats happenin with you?
I watched that episode too
maybe Ill get some Chinese
Ill have the dumplings
no MSG please

And when the night breaks through they wonder
if all they lost was selfthey pass the homes of greed and plunder
still, lingring on, the disconnect

ohohohheaven knows if theyll ever awake

Yeah Ill have my coffee black
hey look were bombing Iraq
I guess thats the only way
oh did I tell you we got Fifi spayed?
and when they get to work they hear drums
the boom fills all the empty space
they file papers ladatrimming their shoebox with lace

ohohohohohoh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh
