Harness Your Hopes |
Harness your hopes |
Harness your hopes |
On just one person |
Because you know a harness |
was only made for one |
Don’t telegraph your passes |
You’ll end up with molasses |
cauterized in syrup |
And syrup and molasses |
And I’m checking out the asses |
The assets that attract us |
To anything that moves |
We’re deep inside the grooves |
And it’s time to shake the rations |
cause someone’s gonna cash in |
The plot it turns again |
The reference starts at ten |
Well show me |
A word that rhymes with Pavement |
And I won’t kill your parents |
And roast them on a spit |
And a-don't you try to etch it |
Or permanently sketch it |
Or your gonna catch a bad bad cold |
And the freaks have stormed the white house |
I moved into a lighthouse |
It’s on a scenic quay |
It’s oh so far away |
Far away from the beginning |
The shroud is made of linen |
The yearling took the purse |
The goth kid has a hearse |
Heart-breaking |
Earth-quaking |
Kiwis they are home baking |
Minds wide open truly |
Leisure |
A leisure suit is nothing |
It’s nothing to be proud of |
In this late century |
And I’m asking you to hold me |
Just like the morning paper |
Pinched between your pointer |
Your index and your thumb |
It’s a semi-automatic |
Believers are ecstaic |
You see the way they cling |
The cold metallic sting |
And I’m living in a coma |
For Donna DeVorona |
The harness made of hopes |
The lovers on the ropes |
Nun is to church |
As the parrot is to perch |
And my Heart’s |
Wide open Truly |
