I dreamt I saw Lucy Bogan last night
With a mouth like an open sewer
And so goddamn horny
She climbed a mountain
Just to f** an echo
And I saw a fighter pilot
Small as a gecko
Named Billy Bishop
Sometimes I swear
From my lips to god's ear
I do what I can
So shut up
And die like a bluesman
I dreamt of Marlowe and Faust
Before waking up next to Marcel Proust
Remembered things from the past
And John Wilkes Booth in a cast
Saw Paul Bunyan with Babe
His blue ox and ol' brer fox
Who hollered, run, rabbit, run
And sometimes I swear
From my lips to god's ear
Look back in sorrow, not in rage
A gilded cage is still a cage
I dreamt I saw Doc Watson last night
Pedro Hodges and Frog Green too
I dreamt of princes in towers
And Richard the Third, the great big turd
But hey you gotta sin
If you want to be saved
The paths of glory lead but to the grave
And sometimes I swear
From my lips to god's ear
He's the kinda guy
I hear
Who cheats at solitaire
I dreamt of Colonel Mustard last night
In the kitchen with a spanner
Singing the Star Spangled Banner
And Francis Scott was off key
But it didn't matter to me
Cause I went a-fishing
With Vinegar Joe & Bobby Lee
Sometimes I swear
From my lips to god's ear
When I'm feeling randy
I'll give you something to cry about
And it won't be candy
