I met a girl who sang the blues
and then she walked off
the very face of the Earth.
So good old boys,
drink your whiskey and be wry,
see through your red-shift in thine eye,
the blue-shift in the American pie in the sky,
your lie is no pie, no water and no rye,
and no life is for no foolin'
in the world your rulin', the orb your ruinin'.
Because death is a happily dead peasant
I know, there is nothing more unpleasant.
No bigger lie, bigger no reason
than to keep ourselves
from just being amusin'
at the electro-chemical,
metaphysical union,
this revolutionary season.
It's all just layers
and layers
inside
one
big
onion
leading
to a mattress
sale on your tv,
and underneath there's a pearl
in a movie about a whale
and an old pirate guy with TB,
and from there he sailed
the underworld surfer's beliefs
and found the secret in his tea,
that the bones be they
and they be she,
and God's Black Madonna,
is the greatest
revenge
in never-ending
human history.
