Forty Thousand Words on a Chair

Sighs Trapped by Liars, 1997

Lyrics

There are forty thousand words on a chair Covered in a kind of plaid What the fuck are they doing there? Can you sit on it? Would that be bad?

There are forty thousand words on a chair So why isn't it a book? To read a chair, see, it is unfair Are you supposed to read or look?

There are forty thousand words on a chair They are small and hard to see They images of elsewhere That is all that's clear to me

There are forty thousand words on a chair I can make out and, and compare It's hard to say how they got there I could make out together and despair

There are forty thousand words on a chair I can make out mirror unaware Fake portrait and Hilton Kramer Off in word Sometimes a ?

There are forty thousand words on a chair That crawled from the books on the shelf I don't know and I don't care Just go and read it for yourself I don't know and I don't care Just go and read it for yourself I don't know and I don't care Just go and read it for yourself I don't know and I don't care Just go and read it for yourself Go and read it for yourself
