Remnants Of Percy Bass Lyrics - Rasputina

He scrapes the dirt from his nails with a stick. 

He makes a big pile in pail on the sink. 

Who was he? 

Oh, I'll never tell. 

He has not got a thing left to sell. 

Oh, the remnants of Percy Bass. 

He glued the newspaper to the wall. 

Skeleton clostes are down the hall. 

Nobody knows him like I do. 

I remember when there were things he could do. 

Some things are not made to last. 

Oh, the remnants of Percy Bass. 

Some things are things like this: 

He could catch a rabbit with one hand. 

He could build a castle out of sand. He was 

A handsome man. 

He gave a tender kiss. 

Nobody knows about the fancy shows you starred in 

When you were seventeen. I'll never 

Tell about your secret life 

To a magazine. 

I can remember when you were the shallow hero. 

It was so long ago when you were 

Everybody's shining star. 

You were a daydream. 

But now, 

He needs someone to hold his hand. 

Nothing has quite worked out how he had planned. 

I try to help him how I can. 

But he has forgotten who I am. 

Remember, 

Some things in life are not made to last. 

Oh, the remnants of Percy Bass. 

Some things in life are not made to last. 

Oh, the remnants of Percy Bass.
