strange people have taken over
my body, shameless homesteaders
who stake their claim
my body, shameless homesteaders
who stake their claim
like old time California gold miners
the men are elderlywith grey beards
and drive horse and buggy carriages
the women wear dresses
that hug the floor
and drive horse and buggy carriages
the women wear dresses
that hug the floor
there are no children, no dogs
just one black cat with a pointed tail
the town cryer
keeps me awake all night
a court jester roams at will
a court jester roams at will
through my dreams
a king dressed as a queen
winks at me
an army of red ants
crawl inside my head
crawl inside my head
a monster lies under my bed
feasts on the living dead
feasts on the living dead
a midget woman courts my favors
offers herself in twenty-eight
exotic flavors
offers herself in twenty-eight
exotic flavors
we make love in a sea of hot lava
the night collapses like
a building under the weight
the night collapses like
a building under the weight
of a bulldozer
I am summoned to appear before
a military tribunal
a military tribunal
my good conduct medal called
into question
a rip tide tears at my brain cells
my landlord cancels my lease
the trial winds up in a hung jury
the baliff writes down
my landlord cancels my lease
the trial winds up in a hung jury
the baliff writes down
his phone number
tells me to give him a call
tells me to give him a call
he has a hot three-some
he thinks I might be interested in
he thinks I might be interested in
The son of Freankenstein
shows me the way to the roof top
shows me the way to the roof top
where down below
a faceless mob waits
with pitchforks and fire bombs
a drummer boy from the civil war
works his way into my heart
Betsy Ross hands me a confederate flag
works his way into my heart
Betsy Ross hands me a confederate flag
the ghost of John Wayne sounds
the bugle charge
the bugle charge
the night an insatible nympth
feasts on a bed of fallen stars
the storm
lets up
lets up
the birds
take flight
take flight
neighbors dog
sheds water
sheds water
drops in
sprinkler rhythm
sprinkler rhythm
a cavalry
of children
of children
magically appear
in rainbow splendor
in rainbow splendor
sun peeks
from clouds
from clouds
smell of fall
in the air
in the air
