Weekend Undercover
I knew it was a Saturday morning;
Yet, in the midst of dreams I slept.
Hands in the boiler room, warring;
Carpet guns fired as six legs crept.
Yet, in the midst of dreams I slept;
And, came that man with bulging eyes.
Carpet guns fired as six legs crept
Over a pulsing flesh with flies.
And, came that man with bulging eyes,
Who searched for his missing thing
Over a pulsing flesh with flies --
Who came to my bed to feel and wring.
Who searched for his missing thing?
I felt it flex -- the fingers cling.
Who came to my bed to feel and wring?
My voice it died; my throat did sting.
I felt it flex -- the fingers cling.
Hands in the boiler room, warring.
My voice it died; my throat did sting.
I knew it was a Saturday morning....
