about

A song about a harmless yet furtive hobby

lyrics

Some men sly away their surplus
to courtesans on OnlyFans
their daughter’s age or younger

What fills life with flecks of purpose,
makes payday an awayday
for which every fibre hungers?

Deathstar in the attic
Pieces spread across the floor
I’ve built a dozen
but I still, want, more

Some men steal away to saunas
and some to larks in darkened rooms
where sweating strangers mingle

Those who seek to browbeat and reform us
have long forsaken all that makes
the senses start and tingle

AT-AT in the attic
boxes stacked away in piles
I’m only doing what I’ve loved
since I was but a child

Some men’s wives are sharp as knives and catch them
Some turn to drink and doublethink
to mute the distant screaming

Some men’s wives lead double lives to match them
and build their rebel bases
while their spouses are still dreaming, of

Deathstars in the attic
X-wings swinging from the beams
Keep make-believing everything
is as it seems

Deathstar in the attic
She’ll be waking soon -
What’s that in the rafters, darling,
that’s no moon?
