Auctioneers Song by Mark Eitzel Lyrics
Your camera eye pans slowly
Over the sheets
A world of mountains and valleys that all
Hide from the sun
You're buried underneath not
Moving a bone
Some terrified Incredible Hulk
Made out of stone
But the auctioneer is
The only one
That needs to know
That everything
Everything
Everything must go
Snowman frozen not feeling much of
Anything
People are nails on a chalkboard
They scratch
Just want to listen to the music of
The traffic outside
Drained and desiccated
Formaldehyde
The auctioneer in
His black chapeau
Says everything
Everything
Everything must go
Candelabra the rope
Poison in your ring
Sometimes it's bad to tell them
All you know
They'll take your heart, inflate it
Hold it with a string
Put your face to the wind and
And let you go
And the auctioneer
With a sassy smile
And a little do-si-do
The auctioneer with a trail of
Dancing zeros
Always finds a way
To comfort and console
Says everything
Everything
Everything must go
Over the sheets
A world of mountains and valleys that all
Hide from the sun
You're buried underneath not
Moving a bone
Some terrified Incredible Hulk
Made out of stone
But the auctioneer is
The only one
That needs to know
That everything
Everything
Everything must go
Snowman frozen not feeling much of
Anything
People are nails on a chalkboard
They scratch
Just want to listen to the music of
The traffic outside
Drained and desiccated
Formaldehyde
The auctioneer in
His black chapeau
Says everything
Everything
Everything must go
Candelabra the rope
Poison in your ring
Sometimes it's bad to tell them
All you know
They'll take your heart, inflate it
Hold it with a string
Put your face to the wind and
And let you go
And the auctioneer
With a sassy smile
And a little do-si-do
The auctioneer with a trail of
Dancing zeros
Always finds a way
To comfort and console
Says everything
Everything
Everything must go
