lyrics

I'm not weird enough for the weird people.
I'm not normal enough for the normal people.
I'm not old enough for the old people.
I'm not young enough for the young people.
I'm not gay enough for the gay people.
I'm not straight enough for the straight people
Am I destined to always be impaled on this church steeple?

Life is a grotesquary
You're so dull and ordinary
Why don't you stop doing what you're told
Life is a grotesquary
Why'd you call it a bowl of cherries
It's more akin to a lump of coal

Life is a grotesquary
But there's no need to be so wary
Why can't you be just a little more bold
Life is a grotesquary
Let's take off our clothes and get married
It doesn't take much to break the mold

Here in the grotesquary
Fools and lovers suffer gladly
Mothers suffocate their babies
With protection and anxiety
That is how it's always been
And how it will always be
That is how it's always been
And how it will always be
That is how it's always been
And how it will always be
That is how it's always been
And how it will always be
