Sore throat, toothache, coughin' all night,
oh, what a way to start the year.
People makin' bad jokes, same as always, just to prove they didn't disappear.
Skeleton women looming out of the darkness,
waiting by the side of the road,
calling softly,
"Won't you help to lift a heavy load?"

When you're staring up at a spinning,
swirling disc in the air,
for a moment, you can't breathe.
'Cause you're looking out at the sky all around,
and the shape of the clouds
as far as you can see.
How do these moments come and go?
Take me away from all I know.
Surrender my mind in time.
When you're staring up, and spinning,
shape of clouds
breathe in and out
Disc in air
take me there
How do moments sing like chimes?
Surrender my mind in time

While riding down the road
a mattress I did spy
in a ditch so deep beside,
where a thief had made his bed.
And springing forth to catch me,
with a loud voice he did cry,
"A pox on ye disturbing me
here where I did lie!"
"Oh, noble thief," said I,
"this was not my intent,
to rouse thee from thy sleep
as along the road I went."
The thief did not believe me,
and looked me in the eye
"I'll rob you blind, to ease my mind,
and leave you here to die!"
Then, much to my relief,
a hunter riding past
did see the thief and I
and stopped to take a glance.
And when he saw the hunter there,
the thief was sore afraid,
and said that he my life would spare,
and left me on my way.

Lady, let me be your servant
let me dote upon you,
any way I can.
And baby, I'm begging to belong to you,
I promise to be true to you,
though I'm just a man.
There'll come a time every star in the sky
will be singing your praises
in harmony sweet.
My only hope is that I'll stand by your side
when the sun shouts your name
as he rises in the East.

The most beautiful roadkill in the world:
Jackson Pollock would have shed a tear of joy
to see the spleen splattered so splendidly,
intestines entwined so tastefully,
discovered by the little Parsons boy.
The most beautiful roadkill ever seen:
A sensation that took the world by storm.
With perfect composition
(both artistic and organic)
Though, in truth some of the townsfolk found it
a little bit Satanic...
They say old Mr. Hancock fell dead at the sight
(though he hadn't taken his medication,
and his heart just wasn't right).
Oh, as people heard for miles around,
on pilgrimage they'd go,
and backed up traffic all the way to New Mexico.
They covered the asphalt in shellac
and cut it out, and shipped it to the Louvre.
Now, it hang for crowds of millions, eighth wonder of the world,
a joy to every boy and girl.

I know what you're thinking;
you don't have to say it.
Probably as well for me
that circumstance has set you free
from my little reign of terror;
no, I haven't been drinking
romance on the rocks, with a purple pill
sycophants take offence till I get my fill
At a glance, you can see
that I'm not really well
(though there isn't really much to tell).
You never really worried,
but where does all the time go?
Not that I'm in a hurry,
but nobody ever seems to know
that I'm sinking ever deeper.
I've lost all will to live, now.
Not that I would expect you to give a fuck
about the guy who compared you to Donald Duck
in bed.
(like I said, I'm not really well,
though there isn't really much to tell)
