lyrics

Vincent Persichetti, Xenakis, Cage, Bartok and Gershwin
Live in stereo and living on a stolen pink cassette
Talisman reporting that the president’s killed Merlin
Santa Fe, Madrid, and Paris were the last to place the bets

Try my hand at baking, or whatever craft is shaking up the rocks
Get good at Crokinole without that slippery powder on the top
Typeset the revolution, fifteen point futura
Left a notice in the margins there, I told the king “Ready or not.”

I’ll get my daughters fighting trim
And tell ‘em, don’t be tardy
And when the fighting’s over, then
I know they won’t be sorry

Fabled anger, blood and carbohydrates in the air
Oh honey I’ll be there

I’ll set the timepiece running
On the clock, we set to carving
And when the carving’s over then
I know we’ll just be starting

Fabled anger, blood and carbohydrates in the air
Oh honey I’ll be there

Opulence and savvy get along like wine and bread rolls in the evening
For the record, there’s a lot of wine to go around
Pass the glass along to good old Rozencrantz and Raisin Bran
Kentucky fried before we die, our bodies never found

Try my hand at archery, backgammon and strip poker
One a day, good shot, good hand, good play, and the world will enter endgame
Typeset the revolution, fifteen point futura
Left a notice in the margins there, I told the king “We’re here to stay.”
