lyrics

walk drag my feet down the street 2 get me something 2 eat
lOOk left 2 right my step 2 must go 4 ward late 2 night
in 2 the darkness the daze is coming 2ward me 2 fast
can’t any more keep my course is run the future’s past

ate out meat so many times my parent’s always gave me
heaping plates with every meal every breakfast sau
sages we ate like candy even after crying A bout bambi
never a clue proving virginia extant oF santa claus
never mentioning your escape from omelas

wake up wake up and smell the coffee BB
wake up wake up 2 hear the music playing
wake up wake up if we R going 2 C another day
we’ve got 2 wake up 2 do what is appropriate

i loved the lamb that mary’s lentil soup was sautéd in
my friend chad had the tandoori- roasted chicken head
i spied a pie filling flavoured full oF vegan shepherdmint
all oF my while thought R those blinking eyes oF fish or men

kept drinking wine and walked so proud i stole 12 dozen eggs
i called A foul and made my way back 2 the plate my legs
B came weak A sudden click the switch was made the hit was good
now all that dark is only left up 2 the april fools

we’re not gonna B your meat eaters no more
w’ere not going to be robot voters no more
we’re not going to be your tin soldiers no more
we’re not going to be your sick children no more

head for the hill rocky road winds 2 A black horizon
i feel A chill the AIR still clearing in my foggy mind set
UP ON day break sun shine will show off all her true disguises
and what U left back behind just 2 B the brightest light

diary of a decomposing dog

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
