When you’re walking with the swearing geniuses
You will know how good it feels
To be included, and I must confess that
I’ve been ripped off in some street deals
I felt sensations of helplessness
I cut the wires of defibrillators
I think I know what I need best and
It ain’t the food in refrigerators
I like to travel with the sidewalk surfers
I ate a brownie and it made me late
I’m on the good side of the railroad turf nerds
I teach arithmetic on a slate
I bent the backbone of deceased illusion
I snapped the desert in a drill press
My whole life has been ruled by confusion
If you wanna kill me – I digress
I was born the son of a candyman
I was devoured by sum’n purdy
I was made into soap and then sold on the black market
And if you’re washin’ your body with me – you’ll just get dirty
A man who’s comfortable with his sexuality
Goes out walkin’ in some big ol’ boots
People rub their eyes – it’s still reality
But they just can’t figure out its roots
I met a demon, he smiled at me
He spoke in languages of post present
He’s from a future that’s arbitrary
Where they don’t hunt owls, or fouls, or pheasant
A little tantrum is a healthy exertion
You would electrocute the nearest frog
C’mon baby, let’s meet in person
And go out walkin’ in the toxic fog
I picked a brain that turned to a scab
There was a tightrope with no one to suspend on it
Elaborate kingdoms are boring and drab
I’ve got 8 pounds of hair growin’ out of my armpit
