Someone suggested several topics, and I crammed them all into one song. I don’t think I’ll do that again.
lyrics
So byzantine, the social ladder climb
Know where to dine, right place at the right time
Celebutante, see what you flaunt
You cash your cheques as everyone expects
But then the press says you caught the simplex
From having sex, with your whole Roladex
They orbit as if on conveyor belts
And surrounded in glamour and great wealth
Lonely celebs eat baroque sushi
It’s taking a ride on a sushi train
It’s all wall-to-wall fog of social pain
Lonely celebs eat baroque sushi
Talking ‘cross a canyon, oh boo hoo
Lack of a companion, oh boo hoo
No meaningful people, just some twelfth Beatles
And Evil Kneavel
They orbit as if on conveyor belts
And surrounded in glamour and great wealth
Lonely celebs eat baroque sushi
It’s taking a ride on a sushi train
It’s all wall-to-wall fog of social pain
Lonely celebs eat baroque sushi
