Your rating:
Noontime the lunchstand tilts It's you baby walking in with your stilts You don't have to eat here no more Cos the sauerkraut's been on the dog-bowl floor They made an old film of this It shows in Hindu out on Air Pacif Shoulda seen it coming 'bout a mile away Especially when you don't hear no harmonica play What you can see is something you saw When you were a little girl Some picture passed by the Hays Commission About a prairie and a Kansas whirl It's true I didn't have a part in it I was working out at Disneyworld Dressing like a duck, not giving a fuck Baby you can dream it's a pearl People gonna wanna Xerox you baby It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw Or your soul would take the overnight train To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore People gonna wanna Xerox you baby What will it do to your mind? Hang gliding off the Grand Canyon In a Coney Island for the blind With me, it'd be Charlie Parker, Chevys And late night barroom brawls With real or imgainary friends and enemies Who strike their heads when they fall On the chassis of a classic Bull Nose special That adorned our livingroom wall Nobody'd be disappointed, if you're the one they wanted Blazing out across the waterfall People gonna wanna Xerox you baby They got a quota to fill Got some cat named Juliean And a Jap in a pad on the top of the ??? People gonna wanna Xerox you baby It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw Or your soul would take the overnight train To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore Suppose I should drag my stuff on out But I don't like the memories Found a pint of brandy on top of the fridge And it's working like an antifreeze So California is running short of water, oh The magazine turns in the breeze It's the bargain of a lifetime dreaming of gold Baby look in the trees It's your Chinese year of the animal And it must be one that preens Those firecrackers going down the hill Signify the end of our dreams It's gonna be so beautiful In those Leopardskin Limousines When they spread you out in white All over Harpers and Queens.
