U Wanna Bang?

Hey you, hee hee
I see you moving but I know you don't know I know
I cannot be seen
In sight yes you
You mercury mover leaping levels on my sight
You're out of sight
But now I found you in the clear
Oh I'm so very near
You wanna bang but have nothing to shoot but fear
Me because I'm coming down
You won't be coming round
And round and round
Click click bang
Click click bang
Bang bang. Who's next?
I've taken Oswald, Harvey, Booth and tagged their toes with my Black Hand
They've yearned their urn
So save your tongue
Cause you see that I have grown my own my say
Say hey so lace your cotton feet on pal
Best not be very loud
The eggshells will go as you will hit the ground
Me I've got the smiling thumb
The hairy trigger fun
The hairy trigger finger gun
One, two now I've got you here
Three, four of course I need some more
Five and six will come my way
No more you tell me so
But you see that I'm in love with GO
That's the way of those who wanna bang

Another act is gone it's time to rest our heads
Lay ourselves down and put to bed
The day so when the lights come up we're here again
People have been ushered into the streets
Racing home to find their waiting sheets
For once I beat someone to the checkered line
Already home when they're still in their cars
Today I went so very far, but now I'm back without a clue
As to what was done and what was said
What I heard and what they said
Did I do it right or...
Well you know I need my sleep
Here's what went down today
Woke up in the rubble of an earthquake
Wondered why, oh why did my legs break
Then the market crashed, there goes the stinkin' cash
My, oh my the day is hard on us
Car is working great, I got a V-8
My candidate won the presidential debate
Dum da de da, da da da....
I'm arms and legs, I'm eyes and ears or am I just a brain
I hope that all the holes I've made don't let in too much rain
All I know is what I know but you might know it too
The world could end but that's alright it's time for something new
Radio towers and acid showers I've had it up to here
Megabytes and satellites won't be here in a year
I need to touch, I need to love, I need to understand
I need to step out of the line, quit following their plan
I'm so tired and my head is sore, I'm going back to bed
To start the day another way with the dreams stuck in my head

How they have therapeutic intent
When they relieve me of my drool
Old and without words, but I still have it, brain
Take a look at all of these fools
So I'm older, colder shoulders
Freeze me, please freeze me
A family circus watch my silly acts
Center ring I'm pleased to make you laugh
But funds are running out
Soon you will hear me shout
Did you forget the times you lost your feet?
Mommy found your truant needs
Now I'm just a joke boy
A funny joke boy
We have liftoff, he's in orbit now
Re-entry is not a possibility
He's in space, daddy's finally got his wish
An astronaut, a dream fulfilled
No more contact
He goes higher, these tears get drier
I'm numb, he's numb to my numbness
Does he know it's about time to go?
Yes daddy knows what you're thinking down below
His ship is gassed on pills to make him good
Where is the time dead, where is the time dad?
Was obliged to pitch the ball batted back
You broke a bike like my heart I fixed your flat
I'm so close to home
I'd rather be alone

Welcome people this is Mega America
Oh say can you see anything larger
Than us how's it
Feel to be on the outside looking in
Well oiled inside d'ya fancy being a gear
Perhaps a cog to help turn, turn the wheel
Turn turn, churn churn
The money and make them green
This is our nation we're proud
This anthem stands as our sound
Do you hear what we say?
If you do get out our way
I am the fat cat meow
And all you workers want to
Know how you can purr just like me
Stand up, all rise
When I say jump you say how high
Mega America
Mega America
And the pockets they flare
Yet there's no bonds to share
Gave proof to the right
That the flag was still theirs

Pile your faces here
Leave your places there
Spit and shine a window
Draw and quarter on a pane to see
This one he's home
My he has grown
Up to seat all his guests by their lone
Some in the parlor share the sign of the asp on their head
Coiling round your window
The holes in your house, free as a mouse
Puffers in the parlor
They're in your room, some yet to bloom
Stacks are even here
A place that shows you there
This side of the window
There's a board for
Charcoal and coins to meet
This one he's home
My he has grown
Up to eat all his guests to their bones
Those in the right of the parlor
Share their smiles with their laughs hee hee ha ha
Coiling round your window
The holes in your house, free as a mouse
Puffers in the parlor
They're in your room, some yet to bloom

Where was I where was my head
I should've been at home in bed
But instead I missed your visit
I'm sure you looked rather exquisite
Dressed in your special gown
They surely missed you back in town
But I won't tell that you were here
My lips are sealed no need to fear
But I wonder what you had in store
When you left that note upon my door
Your note said you dropped by to say hi
But I know that was just a lie
You had something on your mind
I think I know your kind
Bet you would have shook my hand
Or stretched my mind like a rubber band
I wonder if you knew my name
And what made you start this game
I know you could've been my friend
But in my head is where you'll end
You might have been the one
Oh what I would have done
Just to see your face
Sally what do you say
Won't you come again some other day
