Dazed and Dazed and Confused and Confused

I don't know what Jonas has been preaching,

There's a pigmie on the roof

And claymores in the kitchen.

I never rejected nothing

Cept when I was dazed and dazed and confused and confused

If I wanted to leave

I would use the door I saved for later

That leads out into the void.

I need to take a day away

Or breakdown and watch Casablanca all day long...

Because I thought it was a forever song I was singing,

But I'm out of tune,

And my rheumy eyes are liars,

And I want to christen my great granddaughter

But I'll be dead...

I just wanted my declarations to resound,

But in a town of disrespect

Chain link fences make for noisy neighbors.

I have every bit of it on the line for YOU.

I'll drop it,

But it will stand on end,

Like a trick quarter.

Four in the morning

Forty five caliber bullets blasting

I found myself in the backseat

Of a burned up police car.

Every thing is rotten,

Except the infantine seamstress

Who doesn't come out anymore,

Because you scar(r)ed her.

I just wish I could eat a bag of salt brine soaked

Ballpark peanuts, shells and all without having a **** stroke.

I wish I could, smoke, without Jiminy Cricket, calling my doctor,

And the red squad arriving with the straight jackets,

And the bear mace.

I can't project the rigght radiation,

I get that, but its not for lack of dying.

So this is my death letter, to be read to my reincarnated infant self

Twenty three times, by twenty four different people,

I want a life size wax model of Eeivel Keneival

To throw rice at me thrice

Once for each marriage,

But on the third throw wild rice

Because that is what I think of when I think of you.

The burglar ate my begging strips

And the ravenous dog

Is getting impatient....

I've seen the truth in the darkness of the soldier core.

Why not open the gate to abracadabra land,

Give me a list of your one thousand forms

In code of course,

And I will pay the piper

So he can finally change this doggone song.
