lyrics

It’s an open call for celebrities
or maybe it’s more like an open season.
They’re looking under the rocks at low tide.
But who among us wouldn’t squirm to survive?
The database shows that I haven’t worked since
Alien Fathers of Mother Earth and Sales 2005.
But who among us wouldn’t slum to survive?
High, high, high water.
They come for blood, they come to feed
On the bones of a minor celebrity.
I was halfway through my Realtor training,
lying low in the Garden State and
learning how to get by
on the day when the future darkened the sky.
Now it’s Private Life report for duty,
X-celeb force with yours truly,
and even the smallest of fries
jump in the oil at the sound of the siren.
High, high, high water.
They come for blood, they come to feed
On the corpse of a minor celebrity.
Say farewell to what’s left of the earth and the sky
that hasn’t been touched by her withering eye.
Immortality comes to murder me
at 58:10 of the live finale,
and Mom hangs my clothes on the line
in the summer time.
New Jersey summer time.
