The Unreliable Narrator

from Die, Genre, Die! (Avant Pop) by Pete Murphy

lyrics

1.
Everything I've told you thus far
Is a Jibber jabberwocky tralala lala
But I'll continue to steer the car
For unreliable narration is my jar.

Chorus.
I have stitched a tale out of thin hair
Connecting follicle to tip to rip to tear
Two mirrors facing tell the whole
Story of what used to be up above and down below and over there

2.
I wrote and hid a true confession
to be discovered and read posthumously
I hope that you've learned a lesson
About trust and liability

Chorus.
I have stitched a tale out of thin hair
Connecting follicle to tip to rip to tear
Two mirrors facing tell the whole
Story of what used to be up above and down below and over there

Bridge.
I penned a script that failed to ignite
The passion of the audience that night
So I burned it in the flame of bare faced turgid apathy
And I filed it in the category called 'shite'..

Chorus.
I have stitched a tale out of thin hair
Connecting follicle to tip to rip to tear
Two mirrors facing tell the whole
Story of what used to be up above and down below and over there
