on the temple of the couch
I was a witness to immaculate tv
I will pray unto laverne
and shirley one last time
before the supernova bleaches me
will they measure mars in acres
will we finally meet our makers
will lucifer laugh until he cries
on the great red plains of mars
underneath the same old stars
a trillion miles run and still I cannot hide
woo
with the frontiers all surveyed
and the buffalo put away
I wondered what remained
with every mountain logged thus
and every field farmed into dust
I guess we oughta go and put the sky in chains
things determined are in motion
by some preternatural notion
how could it be no-one consulted me
I musta missed the meeting
the interdimensional committee
though I must say I'm not insulted in the least
woo
on that billion lightyear frigate
I said toss me over, dig it
I am running from a ruthless jealous god
you don't know what wrath is mateys
never lived ye through the 80s
the war was cold, but the cocaine hit the spot
when the pole is set in concrete
and they unfurl man's ragged longing
and the banner of accomplishment is raised
o'er the wasteland red as hell
I will wonder, wonder well
who is space is left to blame for my malaise
woo
