MX Missiles

You know I would judge
To say you're aloof
But you know the truth is a seed
You know what you need
is a conflagration
'Cause when I see the blood
And the bits of your broken tooth
It gives me the proof that I need
It's the proof that you bleed
It's a revelation
Yeah, it's a revelation
It's a revelation

I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
Propped up in the hardware store
Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
Of legionnaires with two by fours
As they're marching off to war
Yeah, they're marching off to war

I didn't know what you were made of
Color of your blood, what you're afraid of
Are you made of calcium or are you carbon-based
And if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste
'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, tender to the tooth
And it's one surefire way to know if you are MX-missile-proof
Oh oh, or if you're just aloof

You were in the ground in late November
When the leaves and earth were down
Did you, did you think they would remember
How you almost made state champ
'Cause when you're running for the game against Alphonson
And you fell upon the ground and chipped your tooth
Oh, listen I wasn't really half surprised at all
To learn that you weren't really MX-missile-proof

I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
And you're propped up in the hardware store
You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
Of those legionnaires with two by fours
As they're marching off to war
Yeah, they're marching off to war
Oh, they're marching
