Stop trying to convert me I only run on steam This German bloke came up to me once in a dream He said we only hate in others What we hate in our self Then he slipped on his jacket And climbed back on the shelf He feels better in himself, Smokes a Passing Cloud Wash that face right down the sink And never think aloud People dying who never died before You’d make a glass eye weep for sure Spiked eggs boiling in mercury Fruit never falls far from the tree Scrub the sun until it shines A pleasure not a chore Tried to hide but gravity Showed me to the floor The stars come out, the stars do drugs The cars glide by as Atlas shrugs Greasy grins get wages of sin Come and see me when your boots let in Elective inanities of infinity Bathed in bathtub gin Tired rock stars sleep so sweet Tired rock stars, tuck them in Little lizards talk to me With voices like cracked crockery Check out this fine trophy here That’s when I won pimp of the year

Rolled out of bed Rolled across the floor I’m the Elgin Marbles I am the Doors Even though they dwell inside of me They insist they’re a discrete entity Maintain they're unaffiliated Say we’re close but we’re not related I’ll be your go-go getter I'll be your plus one I’ll be your aid and abettor Your little myrmidon Sitting on a park bench in Gethsemane Drinking myrrh from the bosom of an enemy A man came up to me said what you do that for? I said, because I can, because I am the son of a lord She said, go and walk your plastic dog And then come and get yourself and eyeful As I bestow the gift of tongues On all your disciples I’ll be your go-go getter I'll be your plus one I’ll be your aid and abettor Your little myrmidon I live way down in the valley of the bees Where we're unlocking those synergies I'm totally wireless, no strings on me And we got some fearful symmetries

Dandruff epaulets, dinner badges, prayer flags and predictive text I’m a man of the world all right, but not this one, nor the next All at once the heavens opened, queued for hours but could not get in Songs of indolence and expedience, who is making that terrible din? I am not Spartacus officer, it’s him with the dimple there Take him away centurion, love what you’ve done with your hair Always walk on the sunny side, springtime in the valley of death Watch my shadows run so fast, they will chase and catch your breath John the Evangelist told John the Divine Who heard it from some demons driven from swine Then John the Baptist told John the Revelator Who performed a little mime to explain it to me later Sound of one hand clapped in irons, don’t I get no Huckleberry friend? Out of step with the music of time, we arise as it descends Feckless & affectless, 'neath a half-mast sky Just another hipster doofus, hawking three chords and lies I am not Spartacus officer, it’s him with the dimple there Take him away centurion, love what you’ve done with your hair Always walk on the sunny side springtime in the valley of death See my shadows run so fast. They will chase and catch your breath John the Evangelist told John the Divine Who heard it from some demons driven from swine Then John the Baptist told John the Revelator Who performed a little mime to explain it to me later Saul of Tarsus gave Jesus Christ Some dinosaur eggs for his breakfast one day He painted them up like christmas presents And that’s how we got Easter they say Now they’re making love to the morning light Making love to the dark, making love to the night Making love to measure, making love while you wait Making love to your curtains and the garden gate

He’s out walking in the wintry woods Saw something glowing and they looked real good Eating them seemed like a good idea 'Til he heard them singing, then he got the fear He’s got black magic mushrooms, growing in his eyes Black magic mushrooms, make him run and hide He hears their little voices telling little lies Black magic mushrooms, growing in the skies. He's out walking in the wintry woods When she roughly took his bachelorhood Now he wonders as maternity leaves Who's gonna care for his little rare breed She’s got black magic mushrooms, growing in her eyes When the children see her skipping by they run away and hide She wears a crown of black butterflies And when she finds the truth she turns it into lies Black, black butterflies Come back baby butterfly
