The Other Fool

Although the time is never right
it’s only ever clear at night
her teeth looked like plastic when I peaked
There’s tumors right behind their eyes
their poison tongue tell only lies
there’s blood on the hands that feed and I
swear I saw a tattoo on her thigh

Flies are buzzin’ ’round my head
living grey and dreaming red
the wrong track?
it’s the only one I know
I watch them run all hyped and wired
smell their fear and sense how tired
the words are –
the hive has lost it’s brain
it doesn’t even seem to sense the pain..

Knick knack paddywhack
give the dog a bone
running with the pack
getting wasted ; getting…

Chrystal candy,bad tattoos
diet Coke and Disney blues
I’m so tired
– kick off in the void –
let’s get some weed and chill out to Pink Floyd

NOTE: Yes,this and The Other Other Fool from Roadwork vol. 1 was
originally one song.lack of compatibility between the parts of the
song made it a lot easier (and better!) to separate the themes and
make two songs instead of one.This one still has about eight different
parts…..a Pocket Symphony,anyone?
