lyrics

Before you spare a dime
For missing teeth
Dangling neckties and absent eyes
You both agree
Of course you stammer to the cinema
To see
Don’t you want to see?

Flickers flashing through
Chosen space
While manipulating the popcorn
Consumer
Your vehicle falters
Cautiously ahead

Corduroy roads
Lead nervously toward
Eventually hidden horizons
Crossing
Giggling creeks
Where birds speak in ancient tongues
As ancestors hide
While sore feet thump
Like the noggins of your children
Who were raised like watermelon

As the thought of the ripe are torn
By angry piranha thorn
Snags are beaten back
In repetition
By old-fashioned canes
With worm-eaten veins
To grab hold of skeletal remains
Trout
Next to the devil’s campfire
As the sands of the giggling creek
Swims sweetly to sea

Meanwhile, beside a grand oak tree
Just out back of heathen theatre
Stood a life-size model of the messiah
Who
Without a moment of warning
