about

The title came from a Jon Pareles review of a Smashing Pumpkins concert in the NY Times.

lyrics

do you think he's coming back?
maybe when he gets hungry
and will you take him back?
will you let him fall asleep on top of you?

it's always the same, you're always to blame
and he's so full of himself when he comes home

it's keeping you afloat
the majesty and bloat
if he didn't do it to you, then somebody else would have to
lizard skin and the state you're in
it's rough
but it makes you feel weightless when you're numb

such and angry man
always telling you that you wouldn't understand
all the reasons he's got to be mad
all those years he spent in suburbia

it's never been the same since he started calling you his baby doll
you're just a little toy for him to play with

it's keeping you afloat
the majesty and bloat
he blows you off, it blows you away and it all blows up his ego
lighting storms and flashing light warn
here it comes
but it makes you feel weightless when he comes
