experimental synth-pop funeral march, exhausted mixed choir, claustrophobic malfunctioning-fax-machine texture, cassette hiss and wow/flutter, funereal processional pulse, brittle drum machine, detuned analog organ, bureaucratic office ambience, increasingly inappropriate synthesizer solo that becomes comic and overlong, arrangement steadily losing composure while remaining mournful, dry strained vocals with occasional machine-like stutters
Lyrics
Intro
(ha-ha) form in triplicate
(ha-ha) form in triplicate
Verse
slow step on the linoleum
punch the clock before the grave
detuned keys keep dragging on
every name we cannot save
Chorus
sign here sign here
the stamp is almost dry
sign here sign here
the line just will not die
sign here sign here
we shuffle one by one
sign here sign here
until the work is done
Verse
brittle clicks inside the wall
fax machine is coughing black
every page we thought was final
comes back faded coming back
Chorus
sign here sign here
the stamp is almost dry
sign here sign here
the line just will not die
sign here sign here
we shuffle one by one
sign here sign here
until the work is done
Verse
mister henderson is waiting
folder labeled “deceased”
choir hums the same three notes
until the ribbon jams and creaks
Chorus
sign here sign here
the stamp is almost dry
sign here sign here
the line just will not die
Verse
organ wheezes past the page
solo keeps on walking on
we were meant to lower him
now the keys refuse to stop
Outro
done done done
done done done
(ka-ka) done
(ka-ka) done
