An Utter Lack of Pants

My strung-out limbs grow like plants
Head in the clouds, toes with the ants 
Branches sprout, leaves strewn about,
Now I’m walkin’ ‘round with an utter lack of pants

My eyes swirl like big lollipops 
Cogs and wheels, they just won’t stop
Sugar melts, candy belts
Now I’m full of air like a cold can of pop

My propeller spins on my funny hat 
I float away, to never come back
Heavy body, I fall out of the sky 
Now I’m on the ground and I just want to cry

My skinned knees bleed through my jeans
Drawing eyes, I only displease
I stumble not walk, I struggle to talk 
Now I’m nothing more than a can of dead fleas
