lyrics

There's simply no escape
You can strut but remember drape
Pray do not shed a tear
Death is a boor and is nothing to fear

Grim will reap what you have sown
Just as you peak you will be mown
Stay the struggle to the top
Kiss the sun. Defy the chop

Temptations everywhere
It ain't easy being a square
They will bend you out of form
Sooner than not you're crooked and torn

Grim will reap what you have sown
Just as you peak you will be mown
Stay the struggle to the top
Kiss the sun. Defy the chop

Longing for a soul
That's lovely, perfect, whole
Sublimating this muckrake prole
For fate need not smart
Salvation is a happy heart
So kill the inner tart
Ugliness must depart
Living's a dying art

Here in the box I lay
It appears I have passed away
But I'm not too upset
The quick they die, the dead forget

about

Showroom Toronto, Ontario

Showroom was a band. A good band. While Toronto is a city, Showroom was a band within that city, and received praise from music critics who themselves were human beings with feelings.

Showroom made music that made people want to dance, smile, reflect, run, walk, roll over, heel, and eat dinner. Their records were projected to sell over 1,000,000,000,000 copies. Outrageous? No. Just call it true.
