Salty Tears |
| Salty tears from a lady with electric knees |
| Seven years I’ve been smoking that anti-freeze |
| Silly fears and I never even held the keys |
| Won’t you please take another look |
| Are you going to the marketplace |
| Read another book |
| Learn the rules of the human race |
| Try to learn to cook |
| 'Cause there isn’t time to see the face |
| Wrapped in silk and lace |
| Paper men pentagon hives |
| Paper men polluting our lives |
| Paper men telling their lies |
| Start another war |
| And you’ll find it very hard to copy |
| Spring it on the poor |
| And you’re acting like another Pope |
| Well they won’t take any more |
| But they’ll give another length of rope |
| It’s our only hope |
| Flying like a bird |
| In the open sky of fantasy |
| Listen to the word |
| Before you reach a state of entropy |
| Well it really is absurd |
| For a man to think he isn’t free |
| The key is me |
| Laced lady take another mountain |
| Laced lady climb another mountain |
| Laced lady what do you see |
| Laced lady now you are free |
