lyrics

They’re gonna build a statue of me; It’s gonna be so lovely. The features will be rendered on the Earth to touch the sky. It’s gonna look just like me; I will not take it lightly. Be still for the sculptor and get all my good sides.

They’re gonna build a statue of me; it’s gonna be so lovely. All the lines and freckles etched according to a guide. it’s gonna look just like me; I will not take it lightly. every facet of my being greatly magnified. AND ALL The things within my makeup: All my failures, sins, and shakeups Will be placed in a compartment hidden in the underside. And then I’ll stand in earnest As my golden cap is burnished by the blistering sun, from which I cannot hide.

They’ll build me a companion: Oxen, mule or stallion. Chiseled to be stalwart in the concrete by my side. He’ll match my wry expression leaving everybody guessin’ About what it all could mean and if the symbolism’s right. Still, you have to accept that We might get tired of being pecked at, And if that comes to pass, we have a plan to come to life: We can’t hide in the shadows, So when I’m feeling rattled , I will hitch him with a saddle and I’ll ride!

Stand statuesque in the weathering wind: Lightning rod, legend fodder. Erosion brings its indignities, But being worn Will only make me look Hotter.
