lyrics

Satan Sent Superted

death on the road
laughter in bars
hurry the day
ethanol in the cars

life on the highway
sanctified and insane
the poisons and pratfalls
that addle your brain

are bound to involve a lot
of saying things you are not too fond of
a l’escalier

so satan sent superted
a magic word off to bed
with a battery
hen round knight’s array

and it’s ok to never lie
passing the time of day discussing reasons why
it’s just fine to never change
but when you tot the books the figures are so strange
so rearrange...

see viva zapata
the patter to play
so bullrush the banter
scalpel even braves

pitcher the prophets
so riddle me this
the fascias and soffits
a serpentine kiss

the makers of sazeracs
have sent me to break the backs
of the burgeoning
blue-blooded in bray

the sellers of sanctuary
have got a surprise for me
and a scissorkick
– click clack come a ray

and it’s ok to never lie
passing the time of day discussing reasons why
it’s just fine to never change
but when you tot the books the figures are so strange
so rearrange...

police come to get me
the pig is a squeal
the scaffolding set-up
a lovely last meal

the worms come to eat me
and bathe in my blood
the feet in the garden
all wet from the flood

and after a merry jaunt
theatrically spoke in wheels
to the haunted –
two hampers of hay

and scotty had walked the line
but hadn’t the blessed time
total immersion
mange tout madeleine

the potter procrastinates
the matterhorn masters bateman’s
attorney said:
you’ve too much to say

the sung and the spittle-flecked
circumference interjection
affimative
computer says: ‘Yay!’

and it’s ok to never lie
passing the time of day discussing reasons why
it’s just fine to never change
but when you tot the books the figures are so strange
so rearrange...
