A man with a badge stopped me in the deli today And asked me for any identity that I had I stopped I was shocked And I rustled through my coat to find my wallet As I listened to the voice seeping in from his radio A shot k**ed her Five feet and two inches of energy Struck and stolen by a Magnum 44 A shot did her in Got out of the deli And wrapped myself in a blanket I found on the sidewalk Sat down on the sidewalk And watched the blind man across the street Making decisions now When I get home I'm gonna sell my soul at the crossroads When I get home I'm gonna deactivate my Facebook account When I get home I'm gonna neuter my dog And then I'm gonna sleep for twenty-four hours And pray when I wake in the fading shadow of a strange disturbing night I'll remain alone A shot k**ed her Five feet and two inches of energy Struck and stolen by a Magnum 44 A shot did her in She's buried in the corner Waits for dinner Doesn't speak Chinese She can't help decipher the mysterious book I got in the mail The man with the gold in the mouth of the room sits beneath the Martian The boy from space camp Livin' poisonous dreams But he's a free man now I am a ghost in the body of a human Watch me crawl Wait up for the morning I'm the center of attention in my mind Watch me crawl Wait up for the morning I'm the center of attention in my mind The center of attention in my mind I'm sitting in front of a wall early on a Monday morning Every day those weird pink puzzles of bone and ego spill like manic paint Into the New York City transit system One goes here One goes there Everyone is from somewhere And now we are nowhere Liquids and kids campaign for the right to be solid Bernard's pale lavender voice remains glued to the back of my TV screen Holy ghost holy ghost holy ghost Bernard's pale lavender voice remains glued to the back of my TV screen Holy ghost Holy ghost
