Story behind the song
A lot of people think there's really deep, hidden messages in this song. Really I was humming along to the guitar part and just using random words to keep my place, I liked the way it sounded and that's the song.
Lyrics
He's a magistrative answer He's a serpentine rabbit in velvetine Full of a full sense of unyielding passion And prodigiously predictable lies He'll steal you in a heartbeat, darling Set you on fire and call you a star So don't sit under the tree with anyone but me Cause Johnny Appleseed, he steals like a thief And the robber rabbit's mad-hatter friend said "Love is only make-believe And the bitter only ride with me; Sad always sits in the rocking chair alone. Well nevermind whatever I said That ever I meant to mean, I'm only alive on the turntable in the picnic in the park." Where the chattering crows and the scapegoats Live in solitude, unknown It's a devastating cupboard Where the raptured and enamoured are finely embalmed Put on the windowsill, a tragic reminder That your love and pain will both end the same We're simply molded novels Johnny read us all and threw us out- he plays a sick game The patriarchs, the diplomats, the slaves and the farmers Maybe pawns...may be lost And the potted author's mad-hatter friend said "Love is only make-believe Grief comes along for the ride; And sad always sits in the rocking chair alone. Appleseeds and fruit trees flower But his power only comes in the end. He's only alive on the turntable in the picnic in the park." Where the rambling bums and forgotten nuns Die in misty rain, unknown His sad appetite Well it happens to have in it Everything and everyone, and everything and everyone you know And everything you don't comes out to feast ::Musical interlude thinger:: And the prophet martyr's mad-hatter friend said "Love is only make-believe Fear makes the world go 'round. And sad always sits in the rocking chair alone Broken emotion and you pantomime love The apples keep falling below I'm only alive on the turntable in the picnic in the park." Where the bustling trees and the tumbleweeds Dry and wither now, unknown
