“Since we both hate all the same people,
And we both seem to like carcinogenics,
Let’s be friends forever, m’kay?”
Is she reminding you of anyone we know?
Dare you disagree with inept she,
She’ll reiterate the very words she laid on me:
“Why can’t you be difficult and good?
“Why don’t you want to be misunderstood?”
She knows her job:
Playing the snob
And it all works to make the world spin around.
“I think the guys with whom I like to hang out best
Are the ones with whom I most disagree;
That way, I have much about which to complain once they leave my house.”
Is he reminding you of anyone we know?
Dare you disagree with inept he,
He’ll reiterate the very words he laid on me:
“Why can’t you be difficult and good?
“Why don’t you want to be misunderstood?”
He really fits
In with hypocrites
And it all works to make the world spin around.
If you’re wondering how they eat or breath,
Then you’ve learned these lessons once before.
Perfect in imperfection,
Tart from the start,
Is this reminding you of anything we just might chance to know?
Why must you stay difficult and good?
Why must you remain misunderstood?
And the very name
That gets put to shame
Doesn’t work to make the world spin around.
Somebody'd better get me out of here today
There's a rainbow road that paves the landscape outside
Don't you know those tiny footprints
In the garden are a sign
Of someone telling me
I'm much less free than he is?
I'm like the dandelion seed
I'll be all carried by the wind
I'll be vacating for a month or more
I'm gonna fly around the world
So you may patronize me 'til
I've left my name on seven continents
I'm hailing taxis left and right
I'm hitching rides on air balloons
This ground I'm leaving won't go anywhere
Through deserts, jungles, mountains, seas
The life gets richer by the step
Let every voice converge in harmony
Somebody rearranged the alphabet
Now the vowels come first and then we climb B through Z
All the centuries of learning
And millenia of school
Couldn't save us from
An overhaul of facts
Come wear some soaring skates afree
Come leave some legacy and fame
For all the populace to marvel at
I'm like the wiggle in the reed,
I dance like sardines in the grass
Alongside Galaxies and Guyaxies
We shake the cactus in the sand,
You ship your sailboat from the shore
We'll crank it 'til our good old vessels blow
I'm surfing arctic slopes tonight
I'm diving headfirst in the mix
What happened to extreme flight populace?
My Wings are growing far and wide
Swooping and shading farms and fields
So if I see you I'll call out your name
Make all the universe your home
Make signs and omens all your own
Don't leave your living to hang in a noose
There's more than one sunshining star
Bbut you can't see 'em 'til it's dark
Whip you your telescope and take the risk!
