Checkerboards & Cigarettes |
The stage is set, please take your seats, it’s a show you won’t soon forget |
The latrine’s down the hall, past the refreshments, by the exits where nurses |
go blacken their lungs |
Chains seal the doors at all of the wings |
Though the doctors are in on it, cops won’t catch wind of it ‘till this place |
is flooded in flames |
In this hotel California guests wear their best—which are white matching sets |
of straps and slacks |
Why’s the raven like the writing desk? |
The combine holds more behind their games of chess, checkerboards and cigarettes |
Cause behind closed doors |
Doctors see patients as specimens, gurneys, their cutting boards |
And there’s no cure |
Their attention’s detached while dosing their rats with precise choreography |
Don’t judge too fast their intentions are masked behind deception |
Don’t applaud now |
Wait ‘till they tell you to, you’ll know by their queue |
When patients start hacking, unaware of what’s happening |
No one can stop what they do |
