Oh, brave new world, What the **** is this Phenomenal metamorphosis? I was cocooned by Kafka in Prague Drank too much absinthe Shocked by Tesla in Budapest Shot by Serbian snipers in the rabbit hole Saved by Jesus in Rome Had a hell of a time with heathens on a party bus Walked the rim of Vesuvius Met a gypsy princess Came home to mama's basement Finished reading The Names by Don Delillo Went back down to Florida Where I lived with grandma in Spring Hill Fell deep for a siren An angel who saved my life Had a nasty fever dream Hell broke loose and I wrecked my car Flew back to Los Angeles Went to church and prayed Stayed and worked for the family business Explored Hubbard's cult, smoked *** and played Too many sins to mention I must confess the motherlode No human here is much like God How sad it is to know I'm in control A butterfly pinned down in hell You can reflect your face or soul
