They are locked up in cages They are tied up by leashes They're lab experiments They are held up by fences Me and the animals remember the old jungles Me and the animals are looked down on as fools They are slaughtered for your food They have to beg for their food They are whipped for hard labor They're skinned for their cash-making fur Me and the animals remember the open fields Me and the animals remember all who were killed I say, though, some are treated like kings They lounge around all day and are given luxurious things But they can be your best friend Without saying a word, if you pet them just right, under their chin There's no one like them to show or give you affection They are locked up in cages They are tied up by leashes They seem to be hopeless They're chained to offices Me and the animals remember the tall buildings Me and the animals know life is for living For me and the animals it's all or nothing Cautiously we can creep the zookeeper is asleep Let's go No, wait, let's wake him up

I’ve been very distraught Like I’m part of some bad plot Of I don’t know what Will I grow old doing nothing In a lone chair? Is nothing fair? I am in a riddle now… How? My little riddle… Who? My little riddle… When? Under the street lamp Is where he made his camp And don’t you call him tramp ‘cuz he is feeling like a channel Do you realize no one dies? I am in a riddle now… Riddle me away Riddle me away Riddle me away There’s something I should do It seems to involve you But you don’t say nothing Do you? There’s something I should do It has to involve you So you better say something Ah, you do

I hail from where the wells are dented with hail Where the water is bottled and the wind is for sale Funnel clouds formed above one pregnant lost love Tornadoes flew round while we hid underground Trains traveled the towns not long ago Carried freight and passengers to To and to Fro Now the stations hardly connect, though The elders all spoke of a golden era bygone When the bells had been rung and the freedoms were won Whispers of a far away tyrant turned into loud screams Til the tanks all got closer and they rolled over dreams The outspoken few rallied and roused the rebels But eventually the light of their candle was dimmed A hush fell over the harsh land, all minds were at command No eye contact, not a free word spoken Flashfloods making mud of dirt roads, Trying to make sense of codes that never had an earthly meaning I was forced to work as a ship clerk in a gray dismal warehouse Where we stacked the blue, brainwashing chip At sunset, when I finished my shift, as I walked to my compartment I gazed long into the flat plains, wondered where the sun sank I think, and I thought, there was something I nearly forgot Standing at the junction, what’s wrong with me? Something’s right- a malfunction Jobs being scarce, all the neighbors were scattered All their plans were shattered They battered their brains up trying to figure out where to go What to do? Who to see? How long? How much? As the days marched on like sentinels I slowly and steadily plotted my escape and awaited the day At daybreak I kissed goodbye to the lovely countryside Where my ancestors had all lived and had died I donned a disguise and I fled under wide open skies Through woodlands, through desert, over mountains, through lies Crossing dilapidated bridges almost tumbling down Into roaring rivers below where hopes had drowned I wandered anonymously in distant territories With multifarious crowds through the concrete jungles Seeking an honest living to build a family But where I went they all shouted, “Hey immigrant, what do you want?” And at night, when I lay near the wretched And we share the last scraps I remember I remember to back where I came I remember, yes I do, and I’ll go back to tell it again For there was a feeling there It was building up in the air There was a feeling there It was building up everywhere But now, they don’t speak of it, Don’t speak of it, don’t speak of it Get on top of it Get on top of it, get on top of it Or be getting off of it Or be getting off of it Or be getting off of it We’re just arriving!

She’s turning you into the master of rhetorical questions As she turns into one of your long-time (all-time) obsessions You tell your friend during your all-night sessions Wonder is this is one of her lessons (suggestions) That you’ll never learn ‘Cuz there’s none to learn It’s just a burn One day it’ll be returned

I got a hole in my sock Lord, my toe is stickin’ through I got a rock in my sock, too I got a hole in my pocket Lord, my change is falling through I hope you find it and pick it up And it turns into a lucky coin for you I got a hole in my heart Lord, that arrow is stabbin’ through On the outside my blood turns red On the inside it’s blue Look it up, it’s true I got a hole in my sock Lord, my toe is stickin’ through… all the way through I got a rock in my sock, too Oh wait a minute! It was in my shoe!

When I saw her I did at once have an out of body experience I had this at once but it's lasted for a hundred months now I was hanging out somewhere close to the moon by the time of June just like a balloon but I think I might pop pretty soon Well, I can't seem to find my my body It's down there somewhere Oh Lordy Lordy Can anybody find my body? It's been misplaced and I'm up in space what a folly It's down there somewhere Oh Lordy Lordy Can anybody find my body? When I saw her I became titillated by the way she sped through stop lights of red but she hit me and struck me down dead So if you can find my body I hope you can fix it but if you can if you can not I hope a lot that the policeman will give her a ticket

I’ve no phone, but I am not alone I don’t have cable, but I still stay stable I’ve no car, not even an ID Only a few people can identify me I’ve no cash, but my friends get me smashed I’ve no air conditioner, got a rash A girl gave me a painting of a pheasant I’ve no future, but I still got a present And I feel celebrated To a whole gang of outlaws I’m related So I got vigor and grit in my blood I’ve got vigor and grit in my blood Like them, I’ve got a high morale But they all got shot down At the OK Corral, but oh well I’m nocturnal, but I also sleep at night I have a vision, but I have bad eyesight I look sick, but I still got a chick Whoops, not anymore, my darling was a whore And I feel so elated… No one knows what it is that I’m on I make pizzas ‘til the buttcrack of dawn I roll dough, I don’t roll in the dough I try and stay calm but there’s gonna come a bomb ‘Cuz I just can’t fake it To a whole gang of outlaws I’m related So I’m psychotic and quick in the blood I’m psychotic and quick in the blood Like them, I’m gonna flip out If you make one sound I will shoot you down, so well I’ve no phone and I am so alone No ID, no idea who I am Now I’m back right where I began Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

You were strolling through the maze streets of Venetia You were on your way to eat some more pizza When a lone stranger came up to greet ya Said it’s nice to meet ya So nice to meet ya Would you like to go on a gondola? Would you like to hear the gondolier sing, “La La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la The sun was sinking o’er the canals You were thinking soon you’d be more than just pals Closer to see what the night allows The moon was roused, aroused
