Sing the song bluebird
Never more a token of
Relay the intent

Backward homespun
Is the phone going to ring
Cough sneeze blow out smoke

Part the drapes
Outside is cold
Snow in L.A.


The intense wavering of the poppies
Left me feeling ill at ease

Let soup equal bread
Tangent plus sine never mind
It's all academic

Too fruity too loose the goose
I'll leave when the crow flies towards the sun
It's never more to begun


Don't you see it can't be real
They're only pretending to like you

Follow me up that hilltop where I
Parked my car last night I think
It's the dark dirty one with no horn

Symphony sympathy
It's all the same when you can't
Get the record going

The light from your camera hurts my toes
But don't stop telling me you care


I need a fast food something soon
I need to stand in line and
Order from a high school dropout

I need to carry my food through the crowd
To a messy table and sit next to a family
I need to be part of

Or maybe just move on down the highway to the mall
