Michael Myers Resplendent - The Mountain Goats

I am ready for my close-up today

Too long I’ve let my self-respect stand in my way

Well, the prom queen’s caught in the high beams

And the strings keen, it’s a big scene

But when the house goes up in flames

No one emerges triumphantly from it

When the scum begins to circle the drain

Everybody loves a winner

I spent eight hours in my makeup chair

Waxed my chest and shaved off all my hair

Well, the fire’s bright and the frame’s tight

Try to get right while we’ve still got light

But when the house goes up in flames

No one emerges triumphantly from it

When the scum begins to circle the drain

Everybody loves a winner

When the house goes up in flames

When the scum begins to circle the drain
