Disappointing Lyrics - Grey Tickles, Black Pressure - John Grant

Roller coasters and Earl Gray Malts, 

Ocelot babies but not bath salts, 

Harvest moon in the arms of a tree, 

Which has been growing there for centuries. 

Bassoons, trombones, and French horn sections 

Bass clarinets and string art collections. 

Owls and guitars when they do not match 

Gilda, Kristen, Cheri, Tina, Amy and Rachel Dratch. 

All these things, they're just disappointing, 

All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you. 

There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face. 

There's nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place. 

The genitive case in German, it's true, 

Is something that I am quite partial to. 

Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Prokofiev, 

Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Vysotsky and Lev 

Francis Bacon, The Dolomites, 

Ballet dancers with or without tights. 

Central Park on an autumn day 

Will always be stunning and never cliché. 

All these things, they're just disappointing, 

All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you. 

There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face. 

There's nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place. 

All these things, they're just disappointing, 

All these things, they're just disappointing compared to you. 

There's nothing more beautiful than your smile as it conquers your face. 

There's nothing more comforting than to know, know you exist in this time, in this place.
