Somewhere up in here, All is not well. It's just a bit too much, What with those pesky dunce capped gnomes Prancing about, Bending gears, Building steam, boiling my brain to a blistering sizzling simmer. I wake up thinner, Drenched in sweat, Knowing this will all unfold again tomorrow. And somewhere up in here, My friends might actually care about our ever fading dreams, Because somewhere up in here, A slip winking sandman keeps whispering my name, Beckoning me off to New Nevermore To make peace between the High minded Time biding Rhymenians, And the ever aggressive Yet articulate Alliterations, And somewhere up in here, I Houdini shall lull you into trance. Ladies and gentlemen! This shpeel is going just great As it grates against your senses Like white wine and cheese At a dinner party execution. See I am but a savory hor dourve. A fleeting morsel between meals As *** hurts the ones it loves, A walking talking come on *** conundrum To come chew you up and stress you out. Because somewhere up in here, I mark hours lost in response To Craigslist fembot synothstitutes.. Wow! You're single too? We should chat sometime. Just sign up or register here. And somewhere up in here, I'm walk mouthing these very words. Etching perfection as ogling onlookers Or misguided miscreants Manage to mistake me For a bumbling bluetooth businessman, Or maybe just another tired old transient Mumbling profanities to the wind. And somewhere up in here, A cop car could almost pass For a techno rave on wheels, While your toothbrush keeps taunting The spinach fondeaux Haunting my bicuspids. And somewhere up in here, I'm sinking these very teeth Into a good ol' fashioned mystery. The hunt for the black hounding hole Wreaking havoc by hide and seeking From behind my couch, Pulling back slowly Only to Pounce upon my keys, wallet, Anything in reach. And somewhere up in here, My confidential caseload clients May someday taste freedom From their self-induced CIA phone taps, And from those clasp howling clowns in wolves clothing, Clawing and skat skrat skratching From behind those thin plaster walls, impatiently playing for their in-patient souls. And thinking of them, Somewhere up in here, I find good reason to be happy. As if God truly cares Even if and when misfortune falls. So somewhere way down deep, Below the basement, Buried beneath old grocery lists and aspirations, Behind my rusty hotwheels and broken jalopy dreams, There is a perfect ending Where you know Exactly what I'm thinking.
