Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic (2004) - An Epistle To A Pathological Creep lyrics

  • He'd explain to you but it would take too long
    Why he is right and everybody else is wrong
    He'd endeavor friend to make your mind correct
    He'd try but he thinks it would take too long too long
    It's probably simple math
    that keeps him on his elevated path

    While talking to him it is very rare
    to sense that he's acknowledging you're even there
    Or else he'll speak as if you should be taking notes
    But fears that you might steal
    one of his brilliant quotes
    There's no idea that you could add
    that he wouldn't claim to have already had

    He used to be a really decent guy
    before his insecurities enslaved him
    Now his ego seems to be raging uncontrollably
    Destroying every friendship that he's ever had
    I don't even like to think about him it's so very sad

    Only a boy of three would dare act so egregiously

    Now the kind of places he's most often found
    Are rife with pedants running topics into the ground
    And the company that he is known to keep
    Are all self important bores
    that put you right to sleep
    Yes I'd rather be hung
    than hear them discussing Carl Jung
