Lyrics
Will you pull my lips wider?
I can feel my lips will crack
You insist I wear this haunted mask
But it burns
My head hurts
What if for a change I try to cool down?
My head burns
I’ll die soon, in my room
I’m a goon,
a Buffoon, a Pantaloon
I’ll die soon from the scars
You insist I wear this Glasgow smile
But it burns
What if for a change I frown
Will you pull my lips wider
and rip my face inside out?
I’m doomed
I’m a goon,
A Buffoon, a Pantaloon
Say, when will it stop?

The term originated from WWI, indicating a soldier missing both his arms and legs, who needed to be literally carried around in a litter or "basket." Today it indicates a state of helplessness similar to the metaphoric removal of the appendages, most frequently in the context of mental health or aptitude.
