Weird

This is a weird weird world. In draping the deepest of thrones, we find the dimple of a newborn waterfall. This is a weird weird world. Flying endlessly like a crosstown log, The modern mermen tip their tails and flip their flails and sip their sails in this stillborn magical world. I sit here, implying. I waste no time in my elevator, For I am dripping and reminiscing about everything you just told me in this rickshaw striptease world. But hey there! Recalculate! For I am dying simply DYING for a laboratory! For I am dying simply DYING for some mud! For I am dying simply DYING for an alphabetical totem! For I am dying simply DYING! And oh, in this world, in THIS sacred bloodbath, the words fly like hummingbirds! Like dreary, dreary, hummingbirds, in marmalade, in mother's words! This world is just a time machine, And we've got front row seats. So yes, we'll put on the rock shows and the tesla coils and the posters of Winnie the Pooh, because there's nothing leaving for us in this freckle cookie world. I've got ideas, Freddie. I've got ideas-- And they've got me. They've got me good, like a sundae and a soccer ball, like a city-woven carnival. I would describe myself as disinterested at best-- for I won't be coming back.
