He might never heard Gods Comic
So there he was on a water bed
drinking a cola of a mystery brand
reading an airport novellette
listeing to andrew loydd webbers requiem
He said before it had really begun
I prefer the one about my son
ive been wading through all this unbielevable junk
and wondering if i should have given it all to the monkeys.
Oops bridge
FIm goind to Gtake a little trip
Fdown paraGdises endless shores
Fthe say that travel braodens the mind
till you cant get you E7head out of doorsA
*
Im sitting here on the top of the world
I hang around in the longest night
Until each beast has gone to bead
and then i say god bless and turn out the light
While you lie in the dark afraid to breathe
and you beg and you promise and you bargain and you plead
sometimes you confuse me with santa claus
its the big white beard i suppose
im going up to the pole where you folks die of cold
i might be gone for a while if you need me
