In the desert I was humbled
Seeing what a thousand years of ice did
But I'm not cold-hearted
Little dogs still lick my hands

That's how elimination dances
Through this life of mine
That's how elimination dances
The tap calls the time
My God I tried to change it
My lord how I tried, tried
It seems so belittling
The tap calls the time

I was sucking on a rubber ear
For your and my amusement
Terms of service, they ain't so clear
Pale youth is my replacement

That's how elimination dances
Through this life of mine
That's how elimination dances
The tap calls the time
My God I tried to change it
My lord how I tried, tried
It seems so belittling
The tap calls the time

That's how elimination dances
Through the time of time of time
That's how elimination dances
Through the time of time of time
That's how elimination dances
Through the time of time of time
Through the time of time of time
