the carrot

The Pet Set
 

Thoughts are the discarded 
                    pets 

from a  more expensive part of town 
they get more domestic as  
they are handed down
 
  
The Audition
 

There's a call for extras  
on lot number nine  
they're shooting a flick  
called "Make Mine Divine"  
it's a western they say  
'bout the final frontier   
where cowpokes and injuns  
unite against fear  
I hear the plot's kinda thin  
and the running time's shy  
so they need lotsa people  
to make the thing fly
 
  
THE BLUNDERBUS
 
 

Ridin' the Blunderbus  
tokens scattered wide  
bits of nails and knotted wood  
yeah  
that could kill you  
but you probly survive  
thats the point  
several of which are   
boring   
into your back  
side  
you could turn the other cheek  
or you could find a seat  
on the bus  
the Blunderbus  
horizon bent or bust  
and it always  
stops in your town
 
 
 
 
 
  
The Fedora
left in the position of far and wide 
look to my fingers to see the other side 
on one side's this and the other side that 
can't remember where I left my hat 
gat 
boom went the noise 
boom  
boom boom boom went the noise 
and I found my fedora 
yes, I found my fedora 
I'm tellin' you 
I found my fedora 
exactly where I left it
