lyrics

Once, in a vision of the night,
I was punished by the sight of a page as it turned
Writ in the fractalating ink,
All in laughter from the brink, was a terrible word

I am living the other nightmare
There are thousands of them
And only one dream.
And this is a symptom,
Not the disease.

Time to move to the countryside,
In a garden watch the sky with my mouth wide open
And wait for the atom bomb to drop,
And pray it lands right down my throat

Tell the author to start all over again
I don’t like this one
I can’t stand how it ends
I refuse to go through it
The other guy blew it
Don’t mess it up

He said “this whale is having a dog of a time”
And he insisted that we play Russian roulette
With a completely loaded weapon
He rummaged in his pocket and pulled out
One, two, three, four, five, six
Six words of wisdom for me
And, winking with every eye,
He was humming the tune that goes
“And we all shine on
Like the moon, and the stars, and the sun”
As he began to nag the trigger
Began to nag the trigger
Began to nag the trigger
Began to nag the trigger.
