It's official.

"Einstein on the Beach" is my Alphonse Elric song.


Albert's always sincere, he's a sensitive type
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked
If everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?
And Albert's vision is blooming uncontrolled
All his wings are slowly sinking

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
All the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

Einstein's down on the beach staring into the sand
Cause everything he believes in is shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay
We all get burned as:
One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Who'll never be together again

Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field American
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run

One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall

And the world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again

Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, falling, falling

The world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, fallin' off the wall
Will never be together again

No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway

I've only heard it done by the Counting Crows, but it really is quite brilliant.

And as for your Orwellian nonsense, you're going to hell for it. *has wasted time*

I'm talking about the Counting Crows version. Alphonse Elric is a character in this show I've been watching, Full Metal Alchemist. Which I've been squeeing about in my LJ for the last two months. And last night.

I love CC songs-- the extremely beautiful and/or catchy music, and the beautiful and clever lyrics. Plus, who writes songs about Einsteing As An Angsty Young Man? That's just cool.
