Phatic Man

You sat by me
Having never met before
And you burst with details
You drag me from my public peace
I hope this train derails

I count every word
That passes your lips
Then each one with meaning
I’d never reach the double digits
Partly because I’m leaving

Phatic Man
Keep on preaching
Sell me every word
To be blunt you just repeat
Everything you’ve heard
Phatic Man
Keep on preaching
Sell me every tale
As long as people keep on listening
You can never fail

Coincidence kills me
As we share the same stop
You never cease your noise
I can’t think with your pointless speech
So strongly it annoys

Carefully I plan
The best way to kill you
As you drone me into hell
They’d never find your body
I’d bury it so well

Phatic Man
Keep on preaching
Sell me every word
To be blunt you just repeat
Everything you’ve heard
Phatic Man
Keep on preaching
Sell me every tale
As long as people keep on listening
You can never fail
