Lyrics:

The second track from Subtle’s second full length album For Hero: For Fool released on Lex Records in 2006.
He breaks the blackened window again
He breaks-

You're peering
Through the barred and blackened
End of a once and former window there's
Two gorillas in a hardly furnished basement

Rushing a hit for the phone number folks
One's on the horn with the famous just begging for hooks
The other's, the other's
Copying more
Self from a
Blank with a
Buck knife onto an
Empty bureau's back beside them sits a rather cool
Sculpture of a hard bucket of blood above that hangs a
Black and white photo of Einstein
Growing frustrated over a sink full of dirty dishes
The floor is littered with neatly traced hands
Shown in soft focus through the beautiful sludge
Of a couple hundred broke open eggs
A gorgeous spreading pile
Of tired little suns

To the far left
Of the cell
Rest the shells
By a door
Cleanly cut
Neatly stowed
Side by side
Each end set completely in its opposite half
In its particular pit, in its original crate
To the far left
Of the cell
Rest the shells
By a door
Cleanly cut
Neatly stowed
Side by side
Each end set completely in its opposite half
In its particular pit, in its original crate

Note none of these three
Good-life D-I-O-ramas are ever touching
In apartment A

And from the looks of this place
It seems as though they'd had a visitor
The ghost of landlords present and records past no doubt
He told them that because they were young
Escape would eat them alive
But that they would be able to sing
Until they were no longer able to sing
That is of course on one condition
That they should still threaten for success at its secret
And they somehow knew whatever exactly all that had meant
Then with a rip of a check at the neck
He crept back through the mouth of the phone and was gone
