In a doorway he sat with his dog and his hat His mental infirmity caused him to self inflict his physical deformity He had 53,827 dollars and 32 cents in uncashed social disability checks which he kept crumpled and wadded up in his left boot This ever growing stash rendered him hobbled So... in a doorway he and the dog would sit and swoon and for your paltry charitable contributions He and the dog would croon Ahhhhhhh Fearing the rejection he faced from his failed attempt as a stand-up comic would render him incapable of anything other than a career as a weathercaster for the local news he decided it would be more prudent of him to just head straight for the gutter So... he and the dog sit... in the doorway, in the culvert, in the alley and they wait... for your change, for the moon, for the wind, for to croon

There's always just one more time... that time when they ask you to do it again Son... do you think you can do it for me just one more time? Do you think you can do it again?

Lunching on a Munchkin... who was munching, quoting Pushkin, when I crept up with a pushpin and I popped his little ass Though dastardly, admitted The bastard was befitted and besotted and betwitted for the least that I could give Who would've thought it? Who would've thunk it? Who would've sat on it? Who would've drunk it? Who would've taken a big, bitter bite of it? Who would've thought of starting a fight with it? Who, when the going got rough, would have chucked it? Who would've thought that you would've fucked it?

Sicka Siam 05:46
Taken from the barges on trumped up charges, here in Bangkok, stuck in lockup Dreaming of cats and rice for lunch Dreaming of dogs and rice for dinner Waking to find only roaches and mice, roaches and mice, roaches and mice I am sicka Siam, sicka Siam, sicka Siam Crawling through the mire, prognosis dire Babes in Thailand marching on and... Dreaming of cats and rice for lunch Dreaming of dogs and rice for dinner Waking to find only roaches and mice, roaches and mice, roaches and mice I am sicka Siam, sicka Siam, sicka Siam

There ain't nothin' new You've heard it all before You've seen it all before It's been splashed before you in Technicolor It's been spread before you in black and white And It's been laid at your feet in red, white and blue There ain't nothin new

Not four feet in front of your face, I hid in the fog, you stood in place I knew you were there, I could here you breathe I felt the rush of air as you turned to leave Ten years into the land of nod, the bedclothes are raised, the body is prod You think of yourself You take what you need After all what am I... a receptacle for seed? A carcass in a crib on a floor in a wing Held in suspension Not a life Not a thing And what of the child of paternal error, who's silent mother bore it in eternal terror?

Can't believe it No one ever said that it would point to anything that wasn't true Can't believe it Don't forget that those are then to follow anyone who tells the truth No one ever tells you but it's all just one big lie I'm here to point it out and then just say good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye
