1st Side B
1- a passing madman
what the frack!
what the frack am I?
he's a ship in a bottle
on a vast ocean
that floats in a bucket
in the land of goshen
I can see the sky
where the blazes am I?
step right up
he's a sample in a jar
he's a passing madman
he's going way too far
can you help me find
there's a party in my mind
step right up
see where all the talk has led
he's a madman passing
through the inside of his head
secret agency man
secret agency man
secret agency man
2- FUN with MY COMA
"step right up, dear friends, and see the specimen in a jar!
see your fellow man in his natural state of containment
you sir, there sir, I do say why don't you dare sir
step right up and get three pokes for a dollar-
the lucky poker wins a sudden eruption of cosmic wisdom
share some laughs with your family and friends
it's all for the better
step right up- three pokes for a dollar
it's a custom revelatory ride when we look
down the jar and see what's inside"
my brain has its own atmosphere just for me
where gasses my neurons are venting hover like fog
gathering steam and forming a clog and soon to erupt
then we will all have FUN with MY COMA
my brain is a bladder of visions I hear nature calling
in blathering voices in a gathering pool
my order from chaos shipped up from me
and delivered on time
the answers, dear friends, are blowing my mind
my brain is a rumbling landscape
I feel the tremors of the eruption to come
when I'll know the sum
then we'll have FUN
when I wake up from…
step right up- get three pokes for a dollar
It's a custom revelatory ride when we look
down the jar and see what's inside
(ride)
and there you have it dear friends thanks to my brain
my custom revelations are all that remain
after the cosmos has driven me insane
my ship sails in the bottle from which all wisdom pours
God is pouring mine that's why I do not need yours
3- on having a head
I know you're not real
and neither am I
I would never know that's true
if not for knowing you
even though my gratitude
has no source or destination
I saw the whole thing happen
I don't need a confirmation
poke him with a stick
let him feel the prick
no one's got it in gear
no one's gotten in here
do I have to ask permission
or take expert advice
on having no commission
on how to toss the dice
4- when Hippo hears a who
the man who swings the hammer
on the man who drives the nail
through the man who gets the point
where there's nothing to impale
the man has got a swing
but he hasn't got a clue
the hammer hits the nail
from another point of view
here and now?
wait and see
have a cow?
who is asking me?
they say there isn't time
but they haven't got a clue
no one knows their what to do
until Hippo hears a who
point of view?
here and now
what to do?
stay tuned and stick around
for page two
he loved the here and now
but it was a tragedy
he was going it alone
he wasn't asking me
instead he missed the point
of hiding in the loo
if no one's by themselves
when Hippo hears a who
point of view?
have a cow
what to do?
here and now
wishing to construe
look out for every clue
in a moment we'll conclude
when Hippo hears a who
here and now?
wait and see
have a cow?
now you're kidding me
point of view?
Johnny on the spot
what to do?
to be or not
another cow?
stick around
see it now
