1967Last night
I took a walk into the back of my mind
through the trash and the warning signs
there was a party full of jokes and clich`s
I couldn`t think of anything to say
and so I slipped into the men`s room there
I saw my hair a way it`s never been before
I took the stairs from my head to my heart
Adidas In HeatJet set ski shop quasi silver porche jacket
Bleached blonde forty-dollar foster grant
Capped teeth two-inch eyelash
Pseudo gamma delta doll
Adidas in heat
Beer slob Saturday addict pops another top
"kill that sonovabitch," he screams at the t.v.
Big Electric CatShe arrives like a limo
Smooth and moving
On the prowl through the crowd
To the beat of the city
She glows in the dark
Wherever she parks
Concrete crumbles and the night rumbles
Bird In A BoxI'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat
Dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tailpiece
I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef
There's a mando-Linda Evans talking on the
Phone call a Porter Wagoner tailor-made underwear
Every dog has his Dayton Ohio Hitler
Says to button your fly Tijuana place a Bette Midler
CoconutsHello honey, how is every little thing?
Sure I'll be glad to meet you at the beach at ten
I wanna be your brown-eyed handsome man
Plant my feet in the sand
Maybe you could be the Sunkist queen
In your cool Raybans
Ooohweee, you and me babe
Here comes another summer of love
DinosaurLong ago and far away in a different age
When I was a dumb young guy
Fossilized photos of my life then
Illustrate what an easy prey I must have been
Standing in the sun, idiot savant
Something like a monument
Fish HeadYes, he was a fish head
His frontal lobe a retread
He rode a little motor scooter
They said he was a neuter
Tried to be a masher
He was a failure as a flasher
What made it most regrettable
He thought he was incredible
Idiomit was raining cats and dogs
between a rock and a hard place
so I drove him up the wall
and down to the wire
at the drop of a hat,
an arm and a leg
he lost his head
for a piece of cake
Incompetence IndifferenceThey had a courtyard pool at the Hotel Delight
I decided to sun myself
there was no-one in sight
just a small patch of sunlight left out there
that's where I placed my chair
Then a woman came out
and she placed her chair right smack in front of me
Men in Helicopters v4.0Wouldn't it be great
To see the african plains
Before they lay them to waste
And only the bones remain
Wouldn't it be poetry
To shoot holes in the poachers we see
With an elephant gun
Motor BungalowI don't wanna live
Anywhere
I wanna live, I wanna live everywhere
In a rolling big house
Full of fresh air
A motor bungalow,
Round and comfortable
Like a highway yacht with a shower,
The Ideal WomanShe’s demure...friendly...loving and good-looking
Good-looking and wealthy
She is tall, pretty, thin, blonde
A loving person, great personality, fun to be with
Independent, gorgeous, rich, powerful
Liberal yet she’s very romantic
Of course, she’d have to have the perfect figure
The Lone RhinocerosI'm a lone rhinoceros
There ain't one hell of a lots of us
Left in this world
I stand alone in my concrete cell
Where people stare and toss me coke cans
I guess it's better than being poached
But I'd give my horn just to see my homeland
The MomurLate last night
I was speaking with my wife
When she turned into a momur
Tried to put me uptight
I said "you don't scare me"
Then she let out a scream
That's when my heart started jumpin'
Like a broken t.v.
Young LionsHot tribal night
Underneath fluorescent skies
Bonfires rage strange
Wild, waving, shouting Picasso faces
In the guise of a lioness
The wind kisses her burning dress
You can feel her animal eyes
