Oubliette

from Maritime Adventure by Useless Grant

lyrics

Well the king he is a dancing at the end of the hall
And if I join him I'll get stuck inside a crystal ball
So I try to keep my distance at the end of the line
And I know that in the mornin', I'll feel just fine

Oh yeah,
My mind is melting again
Oh yeah
My mind is melting again

The gang’s all here, Beowulf and Grendel
Eatin' split pea soup cooked by Gregor Mendel
Calvin's out back giving lessons to Hobbes
But they're both philosophers and neither's a snob

So yeah
I get along with my friends
Oh yeah
I get along with my friends

Oubliettes a fancy word for throw away and forget
and now I'm all alone smoking fake cigarettes
Dungeon master is a bastard but he treats me well
Cause he holds the only key to the gates of hell
I've been driving through the doldrums for a number of years
Just another lethargarian who speaks through his ears
And I know I'm not the only one who still plays the game
My thoughts and my reality are one and the same

Oh yeah
It's time to pretend
Oh yeah
It's always time to pretend

“You only have what you remember” that was what you said
And now a thousand memories are leaking out of my head
Sit and stare for hours at the mirror on the wall
Just to find that it's a painting not a mirror at all

My mind is melting, what can I do
My mind is melting and I'm feeling blue
My mind is melting what can I do
My mind is melting and I'm feeling blue

Oh yeah,
This is the end
Oh yeah,
This is the end

I can remember how it looked just not the way that it felt
And I think that that's the part that makes my mind melt

Oh yeah,
My mind is melting again
Oh yeah
My mind is melting again
