This is a wrap and that is that
It's at the bottom of the stack
It's in a room inside a box stored in the back
It went too fast, it couldn't last
You sigh relief and I'm aghast
We had some laughs, but it is past and that is that
You're so cynical, tactical and clinical
Don't mean to be critical
But it ain't worth the cash
This is goodbye, I shouldn't cry
Or offer explanations why
This is a wrap and now I'm jumping off the ride
We took a turn and finally learned
Now it's no more our concern
This shit don't fly, it had to crash
Give it some gas
You're so radical bordering on fanatical
Prone to long sabbaticals from acting even practical
Dark, strong, intuitive
But too high on the cuckoo list
Truly unforgettable, but I'll give it a whack
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap and that's a fact
No other way to skin this cat
Now I can walk and you can say who gets to bat
We were tight and now we're loose
There's no apology or truce
No keeping ties
Let's just cut out, give it some juice
Mysterious and beautiful
As fun as a funeral
Soft and habitual and hard to go against your will
Dark, strong, intuitive
But too high on the cuckoo list
The final straw, you threw it in
And broke this camel's back
This is a wrap and that is that
It's at the bottom of the stack
It's in a room inside a box stored in the back
It made no sense, but I've been dense
No longer balanced on the fence
It's in the past and now I speak in present tense
This is a wrap
This is a wrap
This is a wrap....
