Dissonance Blues

 

Now I do like a bit of sea salt

With the new year's eve mud cake

It gives a nice crisp to the crumbs

When I lick them off the plate

 

Forty acres of purple corn

Hermann is locked inside the barn

I'll never let go of your waist

Come gray weather come bloody war

 

If you see Johnny hovering by

Will you tell him to return my calls

I can't stay too long on the line

'Cause I have to sharpen my claws

 

On the concrete kitchen counter

The candlelight lectures the moth

Murder hazard trombone pepper

Marton Rancid shaved his eyelash

 

Mr Rust is in the stairwell

He's peeling ginger with a spoon

It's not sitting well with the clientèle

Because it's the middle of June

 

If you hear Preston down the way

Send him my very best regards

I'd do it myself, but I am lame

I can no longer move my arms

 

The suits visited me last summer

They came to check out the underbrush

And questioned it quite thoroughly

In case it was growing too much

 

In the yellow housing project

There is a man trying to smile

But I left all of my cigarettes

Inside the cardinal's Jaguar

 

If you talk to Judy sometime soon

Make sure she doesn't slur her lines

I mailed her the latest samples

Of the macerated sunrise

 

Well Black Adam swallows his nails

To try and fit in with his mates

He always flies off in a hurry

To return some video tapes

 

Hubert Pickle watches the news

Trying to make sense of it all

But it just gives him the blues

So he heads back to the mall

 

If you catch Louis this time around

Remember to pinch his nose

I helped him up from the ground

When his wife tore off his flaws

 

Beloved brothers and cisterns

Don't you know how hard I try

Let's all go drown ourselves tonight

Building houses out of chalk

Unclog the walking city's sink

Stuff our pockets with white sand

And poke the crickets with glue sticks
