lyrics

I woke up
And there was singing
A golden old song from way back when
I looked around
For another human being
All I saw was my dear old friend

His prosthetics had been stolen
And the hole inside his abdomen
Was filled with green seawater

He was fond of saying
It’s rainy season everyday
And summer nights are actic winters

Keep an eye on the water gauge
Mind the sign on the cage

Did I happen to mention Ron
Ron’s job is ferryman
He paddles in an old refrigerator

He holds your arm as you climb on
Put a bitcoin on your tongue
He takes you over to the incinerator

As you arrive a spectacle
Upon the shore grows visible
And the marquee sign says Straight Out Of Ice

The lady in the ticket box
Slides a sheet beneath the slot
Reads Rules of Conduct and Advice

Keep an eye on the water gauge
Mind the sign on her cage

Feed the archaeopterx
We are trying to get her fly
