raze he shows up
when you least want to see him
makes a hissing sound
in the new colosseum
if he were robin williams
he would say "carpe diem"

into something less proper
sees a girl on a roof
and says you can't stop her
"she wasn't gonna jump anyway"
grunts the copper

oh, he's the superfluous s

in the title of the blathe

raze sometimes he appears
in the middle of the night
makes a real funny face
when your chest feels tight
says, "you ain't gonna die
but you think you just might"

oh, what a cruel superfluous s
