Mercy Sakes Alive!

Gained consciousness this mornin'
With abscesses boils and hives
My body was enscorchened
I was glum to be alive
And when I scrutinized my window
To my most somnolent dread
I spied a skyscraping crimson rooster
Sporting Larry King's head
I ogled gawked and boggled
At what nature had contrived
I exposed my mouth and hollered:
MERCY SAKES ALIVE!
Mercy mercy mercy sakes alive
Heavens to betsy, my giddy aunt
By Jove I'll be Hog Wallered, Fiddlesticks, Cussadang
Zounds, Ye Gods, Gazooks, Egad
I abrogated illness
Out my jalouise I dived
Took up arms to safeguard
My offspring and my wive
But when I descended groundward
What I detected was absurd:
A worm with a cocktail sword
Brawling with the early bird!
I was stunned in disbelievement
Couldn't verbalize if I tried
The only phrase I mustered was:
MERCY SAKES ALIVE!
[chorus]
The cosmos had gone wacky
I'm not cogentifying lies
Life's strictures I had learned
Simply no longer applied
But what next I concurrenced
I blacked out when I did see-
The devil was embroiled
In the scratch-off lottery!
The terminal proclimation
Before my fainting dive
Was an overwhelmed-style call of:
MERCY SAKES ALIVE!
[chorus]
Subsequently I awoke
In my bed of Kingly Size
It all had been an illusion
With relief I realized
My wife she smooched my forehead
"A nightmare," angel said
But I looked at her in horror:
She had Larry King's head!
What next I enspeakened
Should not be of surprise
I loosed my vocal flaps and shrieked:
Holy shit, what the hell, my god, how could this happen? I'll be hanged, gadzooks, by golly, hot spit and monkey vomit, carry me out with the tongs, I'll be cow kicked by Jove, as I live and breathe, I'll be switched, christ on a stick, jumpin' jehosephat, I'll be hornswoggled, crikey o'malley I don't believe it!

Petty Fool
Walking off a cliff
Crocodool
Stalking ev'ry whiff
The thunderclap is heard
Behind the Tower's spines
You understand the world
Can't define what's in your mind
Rainy days
Don't wanna go outside
Steely Gaze
Make you wanna run 'n hide
That funny feeling strikes
When your brain's in pain
Get on a tandem bike
Let's drive it out to Maine
[Lend me broken ear
Lend me broken
Ear lend me bro
Ken ear lend
To listen lend me broken ears]
Hanged Man
Level with the ground
Temp'rance
The devi's got you now
The justice that you seek
Is lit up by the moon
You think you'll take a peek
The judgement is on you
[Lend me broken ear
Lend me broken
Ear lend me bro
Ken ear lend
To listen lend me broken ears]
{Twenty one steps no regrets kept bereft
Never leave home until your feet left bless't
The magic man waves around his spellcraft stick
Leaves them staring aghast, picks up his feet quick
Kings, queens, new scenes, new sheen, between
All the things, beings, meanings unseen
The Sun and the Gun make your sense keen
Shining, shooting, no cessation 'til the star's seen.}
['Till the star's seen]

Root and toot
Cowboy boot
Spur and gun
Cowboy fun
Horsey seat
Can't be beat
Love my horse
Sheriff Force
Cheese 'n tack
Cowboy snack
Bitter end
Cowboy friends
Ten gallon hats 'n assless chaps
Now you know the cowboy rap

The future is this song's end
The past is what I've said
The past is when you were born
The future's when you're dead
The present's what I'm saying now
Hold on, oh wait, it's gone.
The present may be all we have
But it doesn't last very long
So if the future isn't here
And the past forever sealed
And the present slips out of our grasp
Then what the hell is real?
And furthermore, if nothing's real
Then just what's going on?
How could there be ears to hear
This existential song?
The questions, they do abound
Into the depths go further
On second thought, who cares?
Let's go and have a burger

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building them castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I wanna be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I
just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
Let's get it together baby (yeah)
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
