You Big Idiot - Take a Knee

My friend Cyrus wasn't having fun
Sitting on his thumbs at the Orpheum
If Modest Mouse just picked it up some
He wouldn't have to make his run
And break his knee
Even though he beat security
And spent 5 days free
He caned his way to emergency
Like ants on an anthill they swarmed
But security couldn't stop the storm
He even got back through the doors
Found his wallet that he dropped on the floor
Take a knee
For Cyrus' recovery
And against brutality
Or whatever hurts you currently
So what did become of our chum?
After a 2nd escape from the Orpheum
Could he still be having fun?
Even when he knew his knee was done
He was free
Celebrating mortality
Spreading love and peace
In the Cyrus way, so gracefully
He hopped on a ride trying to get to Hyde
But the bus ended up in North Van
Dry martinis for everyone
Courtesy of a one-legged man
He should have been on the cover
He should have been on the cover
He should have been on the cover
