Good day sir how do you do?
Well I can see that there’s no hair in many places there used to.
So tip your hat and give it a wave
It’s nice to know the chemicals have left you something to save.
What did they say that would lead you astray?
Did they offer you cocaine?
It’s a habit I know that you try not to show
But they keep it growing like Rogaine.
Good night sir are you ready for bed?
But when I tried to tell a story the allegory’d be wasted
For in your head you’ve started to lose
All the meaning of the metaphors a poet would use.
I tried to offer a ride help you safely inside
Cause your speech was so staggered.
Now tell me what’s your excuse oh how could you confuse
A crucifix for a dagger?
You never mind the things that ive said
You duck and bend and then pretend that they’ve gone over your head
Take these words to say what you need
And then twist and then squeeze till you bleed them of meaning
So Kings and puppeteers will steer the strings to rule the fears
That tie you down, who wears the crown, who makes you sing
What’s caught a hold of your soul, who grabbed the wheel who stole control?
Are you matador who took the bull horns, or are you simply
Dancing on strings.
Good day sir how do you do?
Well I can see that there’s no hair in many places there used to.
