The Lyrics

The original title, 'Lithium' - yes, I've had it, and it did nothing - speaks of the maniac realm of Bipolar disorder, a place where every tall blond screamer could be (and probably is) Axl Rose. One supposedly goes up like a missile, crashes like a rock, and causes trouble the whole time. I don't understand insanity, most likely because I truly doubt I'm crazy. I wish I could say that for the narrator of the following.

I'm so happy, 'cause today I carved my friend,
A wooden duck. He's a mallard. But that's ok -
So am I. I look in the mirror,
Sunday morning, and I speak the words of power,
And I'm not scared. I lit the candles...
And the carving came to life.

I'm so lonely. So, today,
I drew some blood. And I'm not sad. And just maybe,
I'm to blame for what shall be. but I'm not sure.
I'm so delighted, for my power has grown great,
Here, bird, sip this, my blood - and become the speaker of my dreams.

(sounds of a struggle, screams... and then, silence for a short time)

(the decoy speaks...)
You carved me. I'm not gonna quack.
I'm wooden. I'm not gonna quack.
No feathers. I'm not gonna quack.
I'm burning. I'm not gonna quack.

I'm so happy, because today my friend found me;
While I slept, he crept inside. And that's ok,
I was dead. I broke the mirror.
Another Sunday, and the house burns around me,
And I'm not scared. I walk alone,
Down the streets of a town in flames.

(the decoy speaks again...)
You carved me. I'm not gonna quack.
I'm wooden. I'm not gonna quack.
No feathers. I'm not gonna quack.
I'm burning. I'm not gonna quack.

I'm not up on Lovecraft, but this one almost sounds like something he would have written.

To me this is more Beckett than Lovecraftian...totally grim verses, totally absurd chorus. I'm not sure which direction you were trying for, but it was interesting either way.
