We had the mouths of jaguars painted on a train / Like sharpened Roman aqueducts bursting in the rain / We're microdosing panda blood / Coronet, coronet, we tried to keep the story straight / Coronet, coronet, we were born already / Coronet, coronet / We drew a second Altamont, penciled on a plank / We nailed it to an abacus / Coronet, coronet, we tried to keep the story straight / Coronet, coronet, we were born already / Coronet, coronet / Made to play make-believe / Burdened, bent, but storyboarded / First one here, last to leave / Coronet, it's been awarded
