privacy is good
inside a fleeting moment
to reclaim myself
To reclaim myself
from hot tears and red eyes, I
read a joke and laugh.
read a joke and laugh
to help bring a wresting soul
momentary peace
Momentary peace.
Eons of insane chaos.
Doesn't seem quite fair.
Doesn't seem quite fair
That I am so talented
And earn so little
and earn so little
(or so it seems), they who fight
our meaningless wars
Our meaningless wars
make me tired. Stop now and try
to make others smile.
To make others smile
I mostly employ my wit
or banana peels
Or banana peels
Can be used for a skateboard
If you are hard up
If you are hard up
for love that comes without strings
then you must be rich
Then, you must be Rich
You don't look like your picture
When was it taken?
When was it taken?
Did it already have wings,
or simply feathers.
or simply feathers
painting on the calm ocean
submarines' passing
Submarines passing
startle whales and porpoises.
Seals seem much calmer.
Seals seem much calmer
Without the poachers around
Let them be in peace
Let them be in peace.
The snoring doesn't hurt us.
Roll over, old boy.
Roll over, old boy.
Time for you to learn new tricks.
Now sit up and beg.
Now sit up and beg
Mama has some treats for you
If you're a good boy
If you're a good boy
You can have a drink tonight
If you're not look out.
If you're not look out
if you are, though, just relax
it's safer to be
