"Entropy Here (Rust In Peace)" lyrics - BRUCE HORNSBY

BRUCE HORNSBY
"Entropy Here (Rust In Peace)"

The populous lush is in his cups
Mr. Concupiscence is tumescent to the touch
He said, "Ya not funny like your dad
And maybe you could use a good scouring pad"
Such a doll, a scream and a sage
He's crazy like a bat in a rabbit cage
My brobdingnagian friend
Can this really be how it all ends?
Out here, Grampaw hanging out with Justin
In a room with some grooves that we're bustin'
Old man crustin', little children lustin', bug winds bustin'
I'm just tryin', tryin', tryin' just to rust in peace (Peace)
Lovely day, lovely day, lo-lovely day

[Pre-Chorus:]
Here it comes
Like boiling water and melting ice
Here it comes
Break up, collapse, decay, decline

[Chorus:]
Hours and days, weeks, months, and years
On and on, we move while we're standing here
Out of mind, out of sight, then it reappears
Disorder near, entropy here
Disorder near, entropy here

[Post-Chorus:]
Boiling water and melting ice
Breakup, collapse, decay, decline
Dissolution of soluble solutions

The big priapic cat is real
The sixth-grade larcenous lad makes the steal
He stole a six-pack from the grocery stand
They sent him out to Beaumont in a padded van
Don't you do me like you did, did before
I'd rather die out here than set up store
By the Rexall Drug and the Book And Card
With the special dollar back-room girly-book bar

[Chorus:]
Hours and days, weeks, months, and years
On and on, we move while we're standing here
Out of mind, out of sight, then it reappears
Disorder clear, entropy's here
And I'm just trying to rust, rust in, rust in peace
