I Wish To Be In the Bowl

I wish to be in the bowl Where the moon and the sun shine. Outside here is the Armageddon Where the saint gnash their teeth In pain and in vain. In the bowl lives the repentance: The gunslingers turn the Seraphims And the gaolbirds become the Cherubs Singing sonorously at the treasury gate: Lord spare the gullible. I wish to be in the bowl Where shame becomes fame Where indolence is the excellence Where impunity is two for penny Where immunity is: buy one and take four. I wish to be in the bowl; The paradise of the foul.
