Serpentine Shadow Dance
First you lemming sway to the left,
then you ostrich sway to the right
No straight talk movement is motive necessary
on Leper Rabbit Foot Devil’s Night
Now a-moral slug limbo very Dixie Antebellum low ...
just how deep down apartheid dirt South can you go
Next, Pharisee kangaroo court jump so Sadducee sky high ...
just how crucifixion far Siberian gulag North can you fly
Shadow dance of oppression,
next gen protesters
gotta learn yesteryear’s lesson
Mamba flag march
to the Caesar marionette bayonet beat
Rumba puppet roll
to the Roman Pied Pier a-patriotic feet
Duckie, duckie walkie ...
chicken-heart, no-ruffle web toe shuffle
Head bobble, leg wobble ...
knee bending to the sound byte kerfuffle
Demonic oppression prance,
lifetaker
pull the plug from the socket
Snatch the idol coins in the purse
Serpentine shadow dance,
rainmaker
shake down the lewd pockets
For the brimstone firewater curse
Lastly, you chimp chump,
Wall flower lean saber rattle swing to the left
Then swine sucker,
lip-pucker snail snivel hip wiggle to the right
Do a cockatrice crush move lying groove on your scaly belly
No straight gate, pearly truth motion is required tango telly
