just the other mornin I got up early

shaved my arms and called my sister shirley

when a thought provoked me & ran upstairs

it was the weirdest thing I ever seen

everyone was lookin as I chased it down the street

in my bright red pyjamas (with the bunny feet)

man I was scared clawin for air

but that was the only suit I had that was clean

can you see why I’m gone

the sky was much too orange

will it still be without me to pin it on

am I right that I was wrong

I’ve stayed here much too long

will it still fall without me to fall upon?

baby bottle fell hell I let the dog lick it

now it’s buried in the back & I’m sittin naked

on the couch with the pizza stain

and the rains just comin down inside

it’s different out here than people seem to think

I was just sittin round the kitchen watchin the kitchen sink

while underneath the table these vicious little demons

were chewin me up inside

(chorus)

people in the dark without a television

tellin me they smell the smell of supervision

when the ground breaks open it don’t matter

who’s got their handkerchief, son

grabbed a paper bag tryin to save my face

as I was talkin to the chinese about the hunan race

they were sendin me lemons & pilgrims for my trip

all lemons & pilgrims and it was so out

everything was upside-down

can you see why I’m gone

the sky was much too orange

will it still be without me to pin it on

am I right that I was wrong

I stayed in bed too long

will it still fall without me to fall upon?
