When Big Joan comes out
Her arms are too small
Her head like a ball
She tied off her horse
and galloped off into the moonbeams
She pulled up her blouse
and compared her navel to the moon
I dig my life for a while
When Big Joan sets up
Her hands are too small
She's too fat to go out in the daylight
So she rolls around all night
I'm just sorta thread
With a drooped body
I'll set up with ya Big Joan
I'm too fat to go out in the daylight
I'll stay up all night
I won't droop if you
Won't talk about your
Hands being too small
You know something's happening
Or you wouldn't of come out like ya did
She ain't built for going naked
So she can't wear any new clothes
Or go to the beach
They laugh at her body
Cause her hands are too small
When Big Joan sets up her hands are too small
l She's outta reach
A turquoise scarf and a sleeve
Rolled up over a Merc Montclair
I'll sit up with ya Big Joan
I'm too fat to go out in the daytime
I'll stay up all night
If ya promise not to talk
About your hands being too small
I cry but I can't buy
Your Veteran's Day poppy
It don't get me high
It can only make me cry
It can never grow another
Son like the one who warmed me my days
After rain and warmed my breath
My life's blood
Screamin' empty she crys
It don't get me high
It can only make me cry
When the Witch Doctor Life
Throws his silent bones
Some are crowned kings
While others lose their thrones
When the Witch Doctor Life
Throws his silent bones
Small 'O' mouths scream
And run to Mama Kangaroo
Insecure pouches wherein hide
Beggars and drones
And babies and bums and buzzards
Mama crouches and smiles
Her old useful smile
And old ego roars - laughs yesterday's gasses
While children and angels gasp
And follow a shepherd on crutches
When the Witch Doctor Life
Throws his silent bones
Some flee the dream
Some turn to stone
And the children sing
And the heavens ring
Worn by the shepherd with the folded wings
The past sure is tense
They're heading up for the main event
All those people seem to be hell-bent
See those people up on top of the fence
And the man down there
Selling knotholes through the fence
The little shoe generation man
I found your print on a dollar bill
I founf your print on an Indian mound
I found your print on the statue at the sound
I found your print on the elephant ground
I found your print in the beautiful mountains
The grass no longer grew around
I found your print in my mind -
The past sure is tense
The pastsureistense
No you got the wrong idea
No you got the wrong intent
The carpenter carpenterized my vent
The only peephole
Where is my dent
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is now
I don't see how
See those people that used to
Throw those tents
You can't see them now
They're in past tense
Pena, her little head clinking
Like a barrel of red velvet balls
Full past noise
Treats filled her eyes
Turning them yellow like enamel coated tacks
Soft like butter, hard not to pour
Out enjoying the sun
While sitting on a turned on waffle iron
Smoke billowing up from between her legs
Made me vomit beautifully
And crush a chandelier
Fall on my stomach an' view her
From a thousand happened facets
Liquid red salt ran over crystals
I later band aided the area
Sighed, oh well, it was worth it
Pena pleased but sore from sitting
Choose to stub her toe
An' view the white pulps
Horribly large in their red pockets
"I'm tired of playing baby", she explained
An' out of, uh, blue felt box let escape
One yellow butterfly the same size
Its dropping were tiny green phosphorous worms
That moved in tuck an' rolls that clacked
An' whispered in their confinement
Three little burnt scotch taped windows
Several yards away
Mouths open to tongues that vibrated
An' lost saliva

I cannot go back t' yer frownland
My spirit's made up of the ocean
And the sky 'n the sun 'n the moon
'N all my eye can see
I cannot go back to yer land of gloom
Where black jagged shadows
Remind me of the comin' of yer doom
I want my own land
Take my hand 'n come with me
It's not too late for you
It is not too late for me
To find my homeland
Where man can stand by another man
Without an ego flyin'
With no man lyin'

Let the devils burn 'n the beggar learn

Take my kind hand

There goes my baby on that ole train

She says she loves me
Her eyes, yeah her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles
Far as I can see
She loves me
Her eyes, her eyes

{Now, we won't have to worry 'bout the Rocket Martin [Incomprehensible]
Rocket Martin takes off again into the wind
What do you run on, Rocket Martin?
(Say beans)
I run on beams, I run on laser beams}
When I get lonesome the wind begin to moan
When I trip, fallin' ditch
Somebody wanna' throw the dirt right down
When I feel like dyin' the sun come out
Stole my fear 'n gone
Who's afraid of the spirit with the blues-fer-bones?
Who's afraid of the fallin' ditch?
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
How's that for the spirit?
How's that for the things?
Ain't my fault the thing's gone wrong
'N when I'm smilin' my face wrinkles up real warm
'N when I'm frownin' things just turn to stone
Fallin' ditch ain't gonna get my bones
'N when I get lonesome the wind begin to moan

Here she comes down the hall
Her eyes are flashing
She's looking big, I'm feeling small
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll

The writing's on the wall
She's coming up on me
Getting bigger as she gets near to me
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll

But I don't want to fall
She's so big

Brickbats fly at my fireplace
Upside down I see them in the fire
They squeak and roast there
Wings leap across the floor
Fold up the wall shadows
The window curtain ghost
Throws my heart and dusts my throat
My mind caught by the corner
Gradually decides its safe
Becomes a bat itself
Flexes its little claws
Curse its leather wings
With loud, hollow pops
Around the room
Threatening to dash its brains
Somehow at the last minute
Retreats and becomes a natural glue
And holds fast and slow
In every other motion
Making the night more interesting
Becomes a cold, liquid breeze
That freezes and thaws
And pours the surroundings full
As no breath can be taken
It drowns and relieves
To see the black turn into yellow
And the yellow into black.
Brickbats

We don't have to suffer, we're the best batch yet
Baked in special
White flesh waves to black
You might think this is the finest pearl
But it's only cardboard balls
Seamed in glue
Overwhelming technique
Done t' diligence
It's all happening from the inside, you say?
Done from the inside
Where it barely shows on the outside
It's remarkable
I think this is the best batch yet
We don't have to suffer, we're the best batch yet
Baked in special, we're the best batch yet
White flesh waves to black
You might think this is the finest pearl
But it's only cardboard balls
Seamed in glue
Overwhelming technique
Done through diligence
It's all happening from the inside, you say?
Done from the inside
Where it barely shows on the outside
It's remarkable

I think this is the best batch yet
We're baked in special, we're the best batch yet
While the city was busy we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
We went on a ride, we got outside
The sand was hot, she wanted to dance
We went round and round in observatory crest
Thought we'd saw flying saucers and all of the rest
from observatory crest
While the city was busy we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
So the only thing to do
Was to drive up
And watch the city
Go back ten years ago sunbeams dancing round
Go back ten yeas ago sunbeams dancing down
Autumn's child Autumn's child
Autumn's child got a loophole round her finger
Halo rings her head
Cornhusk hair makes me linger
A cat's stare meet s my dare
A man's chair greets my stare
Gonna be my wife she sang she said
Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams everywhere
Go back ten years ago sunbeams fill the air
Harvest moon be nimble
Apples bob and tremble
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I have to find
Apples shine share together
Got the time to make her mine
Fish pond streaks love kind
Found the child I had to find
Autumn's child-I met her at a balloon buts picnic
She caught me with the beauty queen
With jade-green eyes buttons and bows and fancy ties
The feet of dust under trees of rust
make them sandals gambol under knees of trust
Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life she sang she said
Gonna be my wife gonna spice my life she said
Go back ten years ago sunbeams shining down
Go back ten years ago sunbeams glancin' round....
Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Ran a canteen
Ran a canteen
Two people Harry and Irene like you never seen
The floor was made of oak, the door was smokey gray
Their tuna sandwiches would turn the dark into day
They sold wine like turpentine to painters
They took to social life like props to aviators
Harry Irene were a couple that ran a canteen
Harry Irene were a couple that lived in the green
Ran a canteen
Ran a canteen took Harry for all of his green and Irene
Harry was left holding an empty canteen
And by the way folks, it was Dusty not Harry
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
What's the meaning of this?

Men you been lookin' all around for the women
But they always been right there
Nowadays a woman has to haul off and hit a man
T' make him know she's there
Other night a woman came up 'n hit me
Like I wasn't even there
Yeah, mmm dawned on me, man
That a man been doin' a woman unfair
Y' gotta wait for your woman
Let her know you're there
I knew I had to go out 'n tell all of the women
That I knew they were there
Now ev'rywhere I go the women all know that I know
Mmm, there ain't no other place to go but there
I'm talkin' about women
Yeah, I'm talkin' about women, man
They don't have to hit me
To make me know it's there
None o' my women have tears in their eyes
You can ask 'em about me I swear
'n they'll tell you
That's one man I swear
Yeah that's a man
'nuff about tellin' you this
Mmm, y' gotta wait for your woman
Let her know you're there
I knew I had to go out 'n tell all of the women
That I knew they were there
Now ev'rywhere I go the women all know
That I know
There ain't no, there ain't no other place to go but
there
I'm talkin' about women
They don't have to hit me, man
To make me know it's there
None o' my women have tears in their eyes
Well my cigarette died when I washed my face
Dropped some drops in an ashtray hit a wrong place
Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning lines
Its a safe as milk it's a safe as milk
I never heard it put quite that way
The shape I'm in is a gone a way
They called a day they called a day
Yesterday's paper headlines approach rain gutter teasing rusty cat sneezing
Soppin wet hammer dusty and wheezing
Lusty alley whining trashcan blues
Children running after rainbows stocking poor
Gracious ladies nylon hanging on to line
Jumping onto leg looking mighty fine
Sorrows lollipop lands stick-broken on a dark carnival ground
Pop up toaster cracklin
Aluminium rhythm and sound
Ev'ry day pencil lazy and sharp
The icebox inside looking like a harp
E-lectric bulb been out for years
Freezer fumes feed the gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile long beard
Bacon blue bread dog eared (repeat twice)
I got up this morning and I put on my shoes
I tied my shoes then I washed my face
I went to the mirror for to comb my head
I made a move didn't know what to do
I tipped way forward got to break and run
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Got so ugly I don't even know myself
I left Angola, 1964
Go walking down my street, knock on my baby's door
My baby come out, she asks me who I am
And I say, "Honey, don't you know your man?"
She said, "My man's been gone since 1942
And I'll tell you Mr. Ugly, he didn't look like you"
Baby, this ain't me
Baby, this ain't me
Stupid heart, cupid heart
Where will you go from here?
Magnetic ring, magnetic draw
Ooh, what you got me into?
I'm a wolf, chrome craw
Leavin' you now
- I'll write ya, ma
Takin' a putt up to Carson City
Well, if you hear me howlin'
Wehell, sittin' pretty
Tasted nitty gritty
Puttin' on into Carson City
Sparks, tattoos, two tats and a toot
Helmets, crosses, and a patch to boot
Engine hot, pipes burn white
Glad I'm not home tonight
Five miles back I took a spill
- Thought I almost paid my bill
Makin' my putt to Carson City
Party time with the Jones-by-name
Ah, it's a shame
Say, it's a pity
Gotta put outta Carson City
Ha ha ha ha ha
My eyes are burnt and bleeding and all that looks like
a monkey on a silver bar ...
big poop hatch with a cotton hatch - hatch holes that
the light shows in and the light shows out ...
and the little red fence ...
and the wire and the wood ...
and the barbs and the berries ...
and the tires and the bottles and the caruponrims ...
and the heat swims on its fenders and the dust collects
and the rust of autumn surrenders into gold ...
trumpet poop on the ground with peanuts its bell was
blocking an ant's vision ...
and the mice played in its air holes and valves ...
a ladybug crawled off its mouthpiece standing out red
and blacked its wings and blew off to a flower ...
its hum heard just above the ground ...
black dots were hung in what turned out to be an olive
tree that originally held a tree house full of a
building with one small window ...
birds and broken glass and tiny bits of newspaper ...
"My sun is free from the window," said the god the
green dabbers ...
rice wires mouse tins and milk muffins ...
cereal and stone ...
matches and masks and mace and clubs ...
and splintered shaft light intrigues a cricket on a
dust jeweled penlet ...
cobwebs collect down plaster run into a hole and find
collected glass that drinks the reflection of midday
afternoon midway between telegraph lines ...
a silver wing - a cloud - a rumbling of a cloud ...
a crowd of various violins strum from next door through
my wall into my ear obviously artificial ...
neighbors laugh through sandwiches ...
Harlem babies - their stomachs explode into roars ...
their eyes shiny with starvation ...
spreckled hula dance on my phonograph ...
my door rattles windy ...
sand wears my rug shoe and taps on the unheard finish
of an hourglass I cannot hear ...
a typical musician's nest of thoughts filter through
dust speakers ...
"Why don't you go home? Oh Blobby, are you great,"
exclaims two lips in some jumbled rock 'n' roll tune
and wears a spot I cannot scratch ...
the surface of a friend ...
this high book a friend laid on me ...
on the couch relaxing in the corner behind a still life
pond with plenty of bugs and lily pads slurred in mud
banks and boulders tin cans and raisins warped by
thought ...
strain on the spoon like a wheat check - check Bif -
cotton popping out of his sleeve ...
poop hatch open - big poop hatch with a cotton hatch -
hatch holes - got to pick up the horns ...
Distant cousins, there's a limited supply.
And we're down to the dozens, and this is why:

Guaranteed here we go again, baby
On the new electric ride
Twisting and turning
Over on our side
Here we go around the curve
Ya, we really going to swerve
Oh, I could barely hold my pride
I could barely hold my pride
Rappin' so hard
I'm holding my side
With you right by my side
With my baby right by my side
When the machine guitar stars to playing
We're watching the shooting stars
We're under love's blue sky
On the new electric ride
Think of all the love we've been missing
Then we start to kissing and kissing
I could barely hold my pride
With my baby right by my side
Loop de loop
Ride and glide
Swoop de swoop
On the new electric ride
With my baby right by my side
I can barely hold my pride
From coast to coast
She loves me the most
Twisting and turning, side by side
My baby loves to hide
On the new electric ride
Up and down, around and round
She loves me the most
On the new electric ride
Up and down, around and round
She loves to hide
Twist ah luck that made you mine
A stitch in time, your path crossed mine
You're the reason, love's the rhyme
It's genuine
Now you're takin' up all my time
When we're apart you're on my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
Thinkin' about you all the time
Got my heart and me beatin' overtime
Got my heart and me beatin' overtime
Thinkin' about you all the time
Thinkin' about you all the time
I'm glad I played the game I played
And I paid this heart of mine
When we met I lost the bet
And I lost this heart of mine
(Repeat first verse)
Thinkin' about you all the time
The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole.
The morning was distemper grey,
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole.
The man at the bottom was smiling.
He had just finished his breakfast smiling.
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours.
The man at the top was starving.
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears
And waving hands for balance.
There was no way to get a copter in close
So everybody was starving together.
The man at the top had long ago given up
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down.
At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good.
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments.
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast.
Exercise on the pole was isometric,
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together,
The ears wiggle, hands balance.
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole.
Approaching was a small child
There's so many things
To feel and see while you're awake
They're just out of reach
Out of grasp
Yeah out of reach
And just as many; maybe more
The minute that you sleep
So I got to throw my preach
Skeleton breath
Scorpion blush
I have a crush on your skeleton
Watch out unsuspecting stranger
You'll fall off the log
Headfirst into dreams
End up screaming
This will comb the wolf
And that will comb the fog
What will peen the rain
What will preen the hog
Oh you mean earth
And hell over you
And laugh at your tire tracks
If you get up
Why, not even a rustler'd have anything to do
With this branded bum steer world
This pirate flag headlong disaster course vessel
Misguided charted this nautical numbskull hull
Sink in silence smoke - blow your chest out in hope
Sits spread-eagle on poor men
Piled high on truth mountain - last speak in clarity's chain
You'll not be thrown but dive and sink
Your pockets filled with earthly burdens
When they could be filled with light and back with wings
The sky is dark in daytime
And still the blackbird's beauty lyrics clean
Sing ye brothers and end this miserable thing
And brush the dark sky in light
And let the moon bell crack and ring
Upon the mast of mercy
For she is a beautiful thing
I watched her cut with clarity
The sea of satan's red rolling water
That stung my eyes with vile vile brine
And clung to the vine that choked mary's only son
God in vain to slaughter
I can't darken your dark cross door no more
The light lovely one with the nothing door
The decks were stacked
The wind blew low
The wind blew high
The stakes were low
The stakes were high
Upon the My-O-My
Hands low, hands high
Ho-ho-ho, hi-hi-hi
Hands low, hands high
Upon the My-O-My
How was I to know she was so shy?
Upon the My-O-My
Across the light, across the night
You can hear the Captain's cry
Hands low, hands high
Upon the My-O-My
Got to make her roll, got to make her fly
Upon the My-O-My
Now tell me, good Captain
How does it feel
To be driven away from your own steering wheel?
There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
And the sun there shines down
Day and night
Nobody looks there
Everybody knows there
Good times grow there
Come on, baby, let's go there
Where?
Pompadour Swamp
Fun never waits there
It starts at the gate there
Pompadour Swamp
Don't you be late there
Just get there
Pompadour Swamp
Pompadour Swamp
Wafer-thin shadows dance in nostalgic meadows
Ya, dance there
(repeat 3rd verse)
There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
There's a lane there where they dance
And the sun shines day and night there
All you got to do is get down there
Pompadour Swamp
Paint hears this and he begin to run
Electric black shadow runs 'cross the sun
Hold holes in the world
The sun goes down, we'll be done
You hoped
And you hopped
And you hopped
And you swung
There's my baby standing at the gate
Waving, "Come, come."
Paint hears this and he begin to run
You got hot paint, and you're havin' fun
There's my baby standing at the gate
Waving, "Come, come."
Paint hears this and he begin to run
Electric black shadow runs 'cross the sun
When the sun goes down, we'll be done paint done.
Electric black shadow runs 'cross the sun
You hoped
And you hopped
And you hopped
Then you won.
You gold plated monkey
You're a hot devil sun
You better go by and you run and you run
You got hot paint and you swung and you swung
And you hoped
And you hopped
And you hopped
And you swung
You're a hot devil's sun
You 're a mean monkey,
You stuck out your tongue
Hope you have the winning ticket
This is the day that love chose to play,
The day love came to stay,
This kiss is for the first time,
And this kiss is for that time
Love to ride
This is the day that love chose to play
One minute here, one minute there
Love spent time everywhere,
This day that love chose to stay
This is the day that love chose to play,
The day love came to stay,
This kiss is for the first time,
And this kiss is for that time
Love to ride
This is the day that love chose to play
One minute here, one minute there
Love spent time everywhere,
Phos'phrous chimney burnin'
Modern-men's a-learnin'
Time and space a-turnin'
Motor's engine churnin'
fac'trys no place for me boss man let me be
Wind and wave all blowin'
Mountain 'n' sky showin'
Bee 'n;'' flower growin'
Boy'n'girl are glowin'
fac'trys no place for me boss man let me be
Minds inside are goin'
Muscle 'n' bone are showin''
One thing sure are knowing (sure I'm?) knowin'
Get a fire goin'
Crazy Little Thing has just gone crazy
Girl, how'd ya get a name like Crazy Little Thing
Probably the name that drove you crazy all along
How'd ya get a walk
How'd ya get it all to move so smooth and lazy
How'd ya learn to talk real low like that
To where it makes all the men go crazy
Every little thing, every little thing has just gone crazy
The way she move, there ain't no maybe
Talkin' way low like that
To where all the men go crazy
She brings things down lower than they should be
She brings things up higher than they could be
She got the answer to the answer
And my only question is how old, how cool, how low can you be?
(won't find out from me)
If you're too young, girl, you know you're gonna be the ruin of me
They call her crazy, but I'm hot and she's cold
Crazy Little Thing, Crazy Little Thing
How old, how old, how old
How'd ya get built like that?
You ain't been here that long
Crazy Little Thing, Crazy Little Thing
How long, how long, how long
Crazy Little Thing has just gone crazy
Girl, how'd ya get a name like Crazy Little Thing
Probably the name that drove you crazy all along
How'd ya get a walk
How'd ya get it all to move so smooth and lazy
How'd ya learn to talk real low like that
To where it drives, to where it drives the men all crazy
Crazy Little Thing has just gone crazy
Girl, how'd ya get a name like Crazy Little Thing
You used me like an ashtray heart
Case of the punks
Right from the start
I feel like a glass shrimp in a pink panty
With a saccharine chaperone
Make invalids out of supermen
Call in a "shrink"
And pick you up in a girdle
You used me like an ashtray heart
Right from the start
Case of the punks
Another day, another way
Somebody's had too much to think
Open up another case of the punks
Each pillow is touted like a rock
The mother / father figure
Somebody's had too much to think
Send your mother home your navel
Case of the punks
New hearts to the dining rooms
Violet heart cake
Dissolve in new cards, boards, throats, underwear
You picked me out, brushed me off
Crushed me while I was burning out
Then you picked me out
Like an ashtray heart
Hid behind the curtain
Waited for me to go out
A man on a porcupine fence
Used me for an ashtray heart
Hit me where the lover hangs out
Stood behind the curtain
While they crushed me out
You used me for an ashtray heart
You looked in the window when I went out
The camel wore a nightie...
At the party of special things to do
When the stiff wind blows
The flag don't wiggle
In the party of special things to do
I met the Ace of Love
She took me to her plantation
For love without separation
In the party of special things to do
I could happen to me
It could happen to you
I met the Ace of Love
She said I want you to go
To a party of special things to do
And when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
Here take these sparks
So that my distant cousins can get along with you
Watch out for the Mirror Man
And Elixir Sue
Spoken: When I got to the party of special things to do it wasn't hard
to find Elixir Sue. I met all the cars, the wild cards, the One-Eye
Jills, the Red Queen. She turned her head, you know what I mean, she
turned it back and said, "I got a brand new game I want to lay on
you..."
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
When I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the Ace of Love
Now wouldn't you?
I met them all
I met them all
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
The camel wore a nightie
Stopped by your house, saw your lamp lit
Not a sign of you in it
Where could you go at this hour?
Has all our love lost its power?
I said I'd be here with a flower
Streetlamps flutter like fireflies
I wish I hadn't a told you all of those love lies
Where could you go at this hour?
Has all our love lost its power?
I miss you more hour by hour
The roses seem to smell sour
Streetlamps flutter like fireflies
I wished I hadn't a told you all of those love lies
Stopped by your house, saw your lamp lit
Not a sign of you in it
Flutterlamps flutter like fireflies
I wish I hadn't a told you all of those love lies
Oh, when I see mommy, I feel like a mummy,
Gonna wrap her up
Every time I see her
Every time I see her
I wanna grab her
Pull her up to me til I look right through her
But she moves so fast that I can't even see her
Her interest fades like breath on the mirror
Oh, when I see mommy, I feel like a mummy,
Gonna wrap her up
Gonna wrap her up
Next time I see her
Next time I see her
I'm gonna seize her
Then I'm gonna freeze her
It's the only way
That I might get to see her

FADES-
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
Ev'ry colour of day
Whirlin' around at night
I'm playin' this music
So the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
I don't wanna know 'bout wrong or right
I don't want to know
- I'm anywhere tonight
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
Like steppin' out of a triangle
Into striped light
Striped light, striped light
Tropical Hot Dog Night
- Everything's wrong, at the same time it's right
The truth has no patterns for me tonight
I'm playing this music so the young girls will come out
To meet the monster tonight
Meet the monster tonight
What do all you women do
When the men get Tropical Hot Dog payday?
What do you do on Tropical Hot Dog day day?
Yay; Yay
Step out of a triangle into striped light
Turn around and step back into striped light
Tropical Hot Dog Night
I'm playin' this song
For all the young girls to come out to meet the monster
tonight
Meet the monster tonight
How would you like to be the lucky girl,
The lucky one?
- To be the monster tonight
Ow, to be the monster tonight
Oh, everything's wrong, at the same time it's white!
You get to be - you get to be - with me
Zig zag wanderer, zig zag wanderer (rep.)
You can huff, you can puff
You'll never blow my house down
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)
You can jump, you can holler
Never lose what I found
Heaven's free 'cept for a dollar
You can zig, you can zag
Whoa I'm gonna stay, gonna stay around (rep.)
The zig zag wanderer had a zigzag child
Zig zag traveller for the mercy mile
Found his wheels and nature scene
Quenched his thirst, (in a?) way it never been
Zig zag wanderer (rep.)
You can dance, you can prance
Freeze those timbers, drop some beams
Hide my shield, throw away my lance
Zig zag child, mercy mile
Zig zag dream, zig zag dream
Bat chain
Puller
Bat chain puller
Puller, puller
A chain with yellow lights
That glistens like oil beads
On its slick smooth trunk
That trails behind on tracks, and thumps
A wing hangs limp and retreats
Bat chain puller
Puller puller
Bulbs shoot from its snoot
And vanish into darkness
It whistles like a root snatched from dry earth
Sodbustin' rakes with grey dust claws
Announces its coming in the morning
This train with grey tubes
That houses people's very thoughts and belongings.
Bat chain puller
Puller puller
This train with grey tubes that houses people's
thoughts,
Their very remains and belongings.
A grey cloth patch
Caught with four threads
In the hollow wind of its stacks
Ripples felt fades and grey sparks clacks,
Lunging the cushioned thickets.
Pumpkins span the hills
With orange crayola patches.
Green inflated trees
Balloon up into marshmallow soot
That walks away in forty circles,
Caught in grey blisters
With twinkling lights and green sashes
Pulled by rubber dolphins with gold yawning mouths
That blister and break in agony
In souls of rust
They kill gold sawdust into dust.
Bat chain puller,
Hey Garland, I dig your tweed coat. I'll trade you a
domino this size, mothball-scented. The woman silk nude
tie painting his chest. One celluloid stay exposed
through his nibbled collar. Feet speckled the sidewalk.
Faces gurgled through windows. Passing cars gum rubber
streaks. Neon plants swim like green seaweed to a deep
rhythm of blues. Red thyroid sunsets, flame in speckled
chemistry. Pipes run off dark tubes. Erase into marks
that pour the dye of darkness. Crystal comes together
as silent as ink.
"I don't think I could let it go. I got it at the
religious scene"
Teeth let go, tobacco juice, an oiled balloon, brown
eye in an egg white, black tar bubbles and stripes. A
straw hat squeaked on the brim of a feather. Newsprint
thumbed through nicotine fingers, a dark olive was
turned on. Its small pulp speaker burst into a scream.
One large tomato was immediately peeled skin red. It
bled into a red "O" and smacked behind accepted fangs.
Quick eyebrows danced cutely above a mole. The bridge
held a large gold pair of spectacles. The front was
smooth. It slightly gathered and wrinkled at the holes.
A dark wooden moustache deposited below above Chinese
red varnished lips that dented slightly into the
evening.
"It's gotten quite cold. I've decided I can't sell you
my coat."
Honking, the wind puffed into the clumps above the
lattice rows. And out looked Panatella, naked and not
ashamed, without no clothes. Wiggle Pig went snout-
first into a tree. The rubber turkey was gobbled up by
the night's dark rubber mouth. A white phosphorous
raindrop dropped in the sky. Hot silhouettes in a
convertible gave this applause. And several white
porcelain trays were rolled in by bumblebees. Their
wings arranged with pictures out of the past. And the
rainbow baboon gobbled fifteen fish eyes with each
spoon. Pockets was caught at window level. Approaching
the fractured glass, dripping in light, he spoke: "I've
just looked at myself, and from here to here it ain't
far enough, but from here to here it's too short." "And
circles don't fly, they float," Pena exclaimed and went
on to say, "Sun sure did shine this year. Who'd you
look like underneath?"
Steve Robey sent this to Justin, along with this
amusing story:
'During college (1987-1991), my friend Rob and I would
go up to drunk partygoers and recite this entire piece
in their ears (one in the left, one in the right).
Turned many an otherwise conservative, mainstream drunk
into a very confused, conservative, mainstream
Gimme that harp boy
Ain't no fat man's toy
You hear what he is saying
You hear he's saying today
Harp cry, harp smiling
Shiny moon, white note

Harp sing time and playin' ohm
(Cockle doodle doo)
Gimme harp, this harp, harp this, harp bite
Harp this. harp kiss, harp money
Gimme that harp, boy, don't just stand around
Gon' blow pure joy, girl, you wear this crown
Gimme that harp, boy, gimme that harp, girl
Gimme that harp, girl, gimme that harp, boy
Harp string, harp ring
Harp toke, harp smoke
Into the sun in my glider
There's a shadow beside her
Up 'n' down through the blues
Clouds give me my silent cues
I'm up in my glider
With a shadow beside her
It begins to rain on her window pain
Up in my glider
There's no shadow beside her
Thundering 'n' lightning
Gettin' pretty frightenin'
I feel like an outsider
Then the sun shows through 'n' right on cue
There's a shadow beside her
Up 'n' down through the blues
I'm up in my glider
'N' I'm telling you boys there ain't no noise
Now here ya come, baby
With yer tail draggin' the gravy
Y' know yer P's 'n' Q's
What ya don't know, baby
Is you givin' me the blues
Ya got juice on your chin
Eggs on the drain-board
Pie on the wall
Dirt on the rug
I come home late
'N I stumbled 'n swore
Ya won't even give me a hug
Ya had my things all laid out by the door
I'm leavin'
I'm gonna take up with, ah, mermaid
'N' leave you land lubbin' women alone
'N' leave you land-lubbin' women alone
Ya said ya had it together once
Now yer head's around the bend
I'm tellin' ya, woman
Ya better get it back together again
I'm gonna grow fins
'N' go back in the water again
If ya don't leave me alone
I'm gonna take up with, ah, mermaid
'N' leave you land-lubbin' women alone
'N' leave you land-lubbin' women alone
Now here ya come, baby
With yer tail draggin' the gravy
Ya know yer P's 'n Q's
What ya don't know, woman
The floppy boot stomped down into the ground
The farmer screamed 'n blew the sky off the mountains
Eye sockets looked down on the chestbone mountains
'n the sun dropped down, 'n the moon ran off,
His heels 'n elbows pale as chalk
'n all the comets collided 'n blew t' dust
For fear they'd be seen.
'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
'n the big floppy boot stomped down into the ground
'n the red violin took the bow
to do the hoodoo hoe-down
'n the red violin took the bow
for to do the hoodoo hoe-down
The farmer jumped in ah circle 'n flung his chalk right
down
Do-si-do the devil sho' showed 'n he broke of his horns
'n fiddled him down the road
through the fork
'n the farmer's floppy boot stomped down
Red tail squirmin' and the hot leg kicked
'n the fire leaped 'n licked
And when the boot came up, the fire went out
And hell was just an ice cube melting off on the
ground.
And the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo hoedown
And the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo, the
devil hoedown
To the fork, huddlin' in a hollow, standin' at the
crossroads
With that bunged-up bandaged broken bum that fell in
the wrong circle
He had a sole red tail - once went red, now was pale
Fe Fi Fo Fum he was summoned up from hell
Booted down a spell
By a square-dancin' farmer
By a square-dancin' farmer, well
That old bum was sticking out his thumb
When the farmer drew up, said
"Listen son", and the horse compared his hooves.
"If you fall into my circle again I'll tan your red
hide
And dance you on your tail, and pitch you from now to
Pitch you from now to now."
And the hotlick kicked, and the fire leaped an' licked
And the hotlick kicked and the fire just leaped an'
licked
And the hotlick kickin' an' the fire jus' leapin' an'
lickin'
Well I was born in the desert came on up from New Orleans

Around the corner the wind blew back follow the yellow brick road
It ended up in black on black
I was taught the gift of love
Smiling children painted joy sunshine bright girl and boy
bag of trick s and candy sticks peppermint kite for my toy
Yellow brick black on black
Keep on walking and don't look back
I walked along happy and them came back
I follow the yellow brick road
Lost and found I saw you down on the bound off the bound
Taught against the love yellow brick road took my load
Sunshine girl sunshine girl come to my abode 1-2-3-4-5 miles long
Oh I can't ever (so) go wrong
Clouds were gray yesterday down on my shoulder it's time to play
Yellow brick black on black
Keep on walking and don't look back

Candle shy, candle weep
Fly, hot candle, leap
Candle roll and fold in ball
Candle large, candle small
Your threads of fire burning up,
Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light, and turning light
Light deepest night for me, and steer for me
Spin and spin
Then and then
When I'm dancing with my love the shadows flicker up

Up above the shadows do the Candle Mambo
Candle roll and fold in ball
Candle blur, candle whir
Candle her, candle her
While your lights are spinning round,
Your feathers of fire winning night
And turning light, and turning light
Candle crack, candle break
Correct the night's mistake
When I'm dancing with my love
The shadows flicker up above
