My band is Lavender Larry, the first CD is called Pets…
You must be insane, you must have a real need.
You must walk on your toes, and when you’re on the weed,
You oughtta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes crossed
And then moving in violently, down wind and silently,
You need to strike when the moment is right without stinking.
And after a while, you can decorate in knobby pine.
Like the club tie, and the vaneer handshake,
A certain tweek in the eye and an toothy smile.
You have to be busted by the people that you whine to,
So that when they turn you over,
You’ll get the chance to mount and stuff the trout in.
(solo, Roger Waters like kinda)
You musta keep one brow looking over your old frau.
You know it’s going to get softer, and softer, and softer as you
get older.
And in the end you’ll pack your diapers fly down south,
Hide your eggs in the sand,
Just another turtle- man,
All alone and dying of E-Coli.
(solo, this time David Gilmore like kinda)
And when you loose control, of your trailer home.
And as the weeds grow, the resin grows and turns to stone.
And it’s too late to scrape the walls you used to need to climb
around.
So have a tin crown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the bone.
I must admit that I’m a little bit contused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if my gerbil’s being viewed.
Must stay asleep, must try and shake off this night mayonaise.
If I don’t stand in my own pants, how can I find my way out of this
crazy place?
(I am not sure yet of this last part…)
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone’s expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything’s done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone’s a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.
