Safe As Milk
My cigarette died when I washed my face
Dropped some drops for an ashtray, hit a wrong place
Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning nines
It's uh, safe as milk, it's uh, safe as milk
I never heard it put quite that way
The shape I'm in is uh, worn away
They called a day, they called a day
Yesterday's paper headlines approach
Rain gutter teasing, rusty cat sneezing
Soppin' wet hammer, dusty and wheezing
Lusty alley whining trashcan blues
Children running after rainbows, stocking poor
Gracious ladies' nylon hanging onto line
Jumping onto leg, looking mighty fine
Sorrow’s lollipop lands stick-broken
On a dark carnival ground
Pop-up toaster cracklin'
Aluminum rhythm and sound
Ev'ryday pencil lazy and sharp
The icebox inside looking like a harp
Electric bulb been out for years (Freezer!)
Freezer fumes feed the gas tears (Freezer, blue tears)
Cheese in the corner with a mile-long beard
Bacon blue, bread dog eared (Bacon, bread dog eared)
Bacon blue, bread dog eared
Bacon blue, bread dog eared (Bacon, bread dog eared)
(Bread dog eared) Bacon blue, bread dog eared
Bread dog eared
I may be hungry but I sure ain't weird
