What It Is

It's what's not there that makes
What's there what it is
It's what's not there that makes
What's there what it is

Seems like we're quite in demand
More faint praise, well I'll be damned
Ship's run aground on the rocks
Not all that unorthodox

It's what's not there that makes
What's there what it is
Fate cuts her cloth'
Ragged mean

You miss the ceremony
He sleeps, she wakes, then she tires
Leave us to our frying pan and fires
It's what's not there that makes

What's there what it is
It's sculpture, sculpture, feed me to the vultures
It's what's not there that makes
What's there what it is.
