System of Usher |
John Cage gets into the airport |
But the airport is not into him |
And so they agree to part amicably |
And Cage takes the train into town |
Ants have a system of governance |
From which one could learn, I dare say |
But when I get an ant on the tip of my tongue |
I spit it away with a cry |
I have a dear friend, Captain Harlock |
And he sits at a table of wood |
Lapping my words up, because he has heard that |
Some words are better than food |
I love throwing rocks at the tigers |
As they cower in their cage at the zoo |
But now that the weather is colder |
I’d rather be throwing those tigers at you |
An old electrician from Bremen |
Took a frazzled electrical cord |
Connected one end to the Devil |
The other he lashed to the Lord |
Everyone’s murdered by Charlie |
Or would be if they lived long enough |
He moves in and grows in the holes of your nose |
And sooner or later you snuff |
This is the problem with dreamers |
They’re all sitting safe as a house |
For all the world, sirs, as the earthquake occurs |
As if butter would melt in our mouth |
The fall of the system of Usher |
Was achieved by a triumph of will |
The clown as a proxy for Mother |
And Daddy takes care of the bill |
The loneliness of Kaspar Hauser |
Strange thoughts occur in the brain |
If you want to stay strong, make up little songs |
To stop you from going insane |
So John Cage gets into the airport |
But the airport is not into him |
They agree that it’s key to live separately |
And Cage takes the train into town |
And everyone’s murdered by Charlie |
Or would be if they lived long enough |
He moves in and grows in the holes of your nose |
And sooner or later you snuff |
