zoonation – dapper hatter lyrics

i was a bright kid
an erudite kid
“and you got fight, kid”
that’s what they’d say
but i liked fabrics
not on the mat hits
i’d fashion hat tricks
that was my way
and i was just nineteen
when i walked through the door
of the world’s most famous department store
i was making those hats
stylin’ those fancy brain caps
i was a milliner
and on my way

i was a top hat conqueror
hamburg hammerer
flippin’ flat caps
fat trilby trampeler
headstrong hankerer
fez, fez, fedora
stetson, pressed+on, fabric+crown former
ascot mascot
cloche aviator
faux fur hater
trim regulator
e+cap(?) champion
scotch bonnet crampion(?)
kickin’ snap backs
cap, bowler hat bastion
featherers, the feature for thе finest facsinator
gatsby panama, fashion navigator
pork pie, baked bеan, berry on top
float her with the boat, a moat, oh man, now don’t stop
what you sayin’ hatter, you look dapper today
yeah, do the threads that you make sound like the things that you say?
what you sayin’ hatter you look dapper today

for ten long years, a top top hat hatter
but there’s somethin’ the matter, my brain’s startin’ to scatter
vision’s blurred, words slurred
man, i’m losin’ my patter
now every rival hatter is beginning to chatter
finally, i stumbled to the doctor, and he asked me, “what’s up?”
“my hands are tinglin’
i can hardly stand up
my fingers, my thumbs
i’m feelin’ all depressed
i’m unable to do the thing or two i used to do best”
yeah, before i can go on he says, “stop”
“you’re a mess
let me guess
you’ve been workin’ in a hat shop
it’s rigged
it’s a gyp
it’s the chemical dip
it’s the brew that they stew to make the soft felt fit
everytime you breathe in and your pupils dilate, you’re feelin’ the effects of the mercurous nitrate
you absorb it through your fingers
and you feel it through your bones
and the only way to treat it?
god knows!”
what’s the matter hatter?
you look shattered and battered
you’re fallin’ apart
yeah, and your life is in tatters
what’s the matter hatter?
you look shattered today

it’s not me
it’s the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)

and now i’ve obtained a neurological error
an uncontrollable tremor
sh+sh+sh+shakin’ with terror
no matter how i endeavor
n+naw, it’s not gettin’ better
can’t keep it together
will i be like this forever?
it’s the hat shakes
i guess it’s my mistake
that mercurous nitrate has sealed my fate
and now my friends have turned their backs on me
rejected by society
lost my job
ran away to start a new community
and i named it wonderland
a promised land
can you understand that?
livin’ in the woods
so much easier there
everyday, just sippin’ tea
just me, the door mouse, and the hare
we weren’t aware that our time was runnin’ out
we never did no one no harm
no doubt
but other people found us weird and feared my curious look
next thing, i’m drugged up, locked down in ladrington brook
it’s not me
it’s the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)

it’s not me
it’s the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)

this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious
this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious
this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious

it’s not me
it’s the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)
the mercury
(make it go away)

(this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious)
(this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious)
(this curious mercurious nitrate’s got me furious)

(what’s the matter, hatter? you look shattered and battered. you’re fallin’ apart. yeah, and your life is in tatters)
(what’s the matter, hatter? you look shattered today.)

i was a bright kid
an erudite kid
i was a milliner
and on my way
