Blessed be the doctor |
|
Blessed be the nurse. |
|
Blessed be the coachman |
|
Who put me in the hearse. |
|
Blessed be the blessings and |
|
Blessed be the curse. |
|
Rattled from the sediment |
|
Old bones around the settlement. |
|
Tell who passed out the medicine |
|
The dose was much too strong. |
|
He goes to bed bereft and berated |
|
And rests his head in the hands of |
|
The over rated. |
|
Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge, |
|
Sensing treason they're not waiting around; |
|
On the first bus out of the town |
|
They're playing movies that they've already seen. |
|
The jewelry advances as the gums recede, |
|
The devil goes out dancing on the angels preceived needs, |
|
Please go easy on me. |
|
Cheap sex with a dicount broker- |
|
Cop's walkie-talkie squawks breaker-breaker."We got to take her down to the stationShe says that that broker broke her off." |
|
Read the text at the ticker tape parade- |
|
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off. |
|
Check the checks at the ticker tape parade- |
|
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off. |
|
Insurance can't cover what the world exposed- |
|
Open nerves. |
|
Touching toes to stretch, |
|
The A.C. made us retch. |
|
Can you conceive of |
|
Working for the |
|
Emperor's new clothes? |
|
Please go easy on me. |
