puppet strung to a
hum-bucking bass run.
fat lip stung by the
hook and the rhythm.
help me glide with a
dose of the wild life.
heart beat's strong and
my alpha waves break right.

BOO-DOOT...feel it in my chest
BAH-DUNT...find that cherished rest
DOO-WOOT...hear the feeling clear
BUH-BUMP...shake the sleep from my ear

you're wearing Klieg lights
and a pout.
but i put that candle out
when i nuked Las Vegas.
snuffed every obnoxious
incendiary inducement to excess.
oh yes.
