Lyrics:
I am sitting in the back with a jar of fire ants
picking my teeth with a razor blade
I know you'll be back any day
Waiting around, I found a couple of crazy sounds
but then they up and walked away
that's how I know it's finally safe to say
that you are never ever coming back
I know you're never ever coming back
Punch drunk on black mold
I broke a finger cause I'm getting too old
and though it wasn't mine to begin with
it looked enough like mine that I felt it
It's too cool to be a school, it's too dark to be a park
I'm not quite sure where I am
but to be honest I don't give a damn
because I know now that you are never coming back
I don't care about anything else cause you're never coming back
I don't know what to do now that you're never coming back
And I saw one little ray of light sneak under the door
like hope in a movie
or an angel in a dusty book
oh page eleventeen, spirit me away from here
I am sitting in the back with an empty jar, aah!
Cutting the ropes with the razor blade
sawing the bars with a thing I made
breaking the locks and iron braids
run in a straight line for days and days and days
Cause I know you aren't coming back
I can't believe it's true, are you really never coming back?
I don't know what to do now that you are never ever coming back
I don't care about anything else cause you're never ever coming back
"Absofacto" - an old forgotten bit of American slang. ... I think I'll start using it! : D
Cool song - and one of your most iconic images.

@SelectCircle And it means? Something like telling the only truth? An absolute fact? No discussion possible?

@PoetryOfTheAir It's short for "That's an absolute fact!" It's an expression of total agreement.
I don't think that you and I have ever had occasion to use that term between us. ... : D
But now on THAT point we can at last say ABSOFACTO! : D

@SelectCircle No we can't!
I do believe we ever had occasions we agreed, can't recall one now, but we must have had them :-) Or didn't we? :-)

@PoetryOfTheAir I know you're always much in agreement with Leonard. : D
Are you the one who thumbed all his videos down yesterday? ... : D
SelectCircle 10 months ago
@SelectCircle All his videos, even the one about his dog?
Leonard and I agree on one important matter. We love(d) our dogs :-))
