"GREATER HOPELESS MAGGOT FEAR" (lyric rough draft)
-------------------
VERSES1
-
los angeles is not great for fishing
the directions in the manual are severe
and the operator's voice is very grainy
so search your atlas for a place to disappear
-
all these matters need some fixing
but you'll find their maxima in zaire
or on madison avenue on block fifty
where holes in your story show you insincere
-----------------
CHORUS1
-
the manmade items in your magazine
made by men with matted hair in mandalay
-
include a chalice filled with meats of mangosteen
made for an administrator dressed in gray
--------------------
VERSES2
-
if your target is just and fitting
even finland might be still too near
it's a ridiculous thing to consider holy
while defenseless despite your defensive gear
-
that you nautilus shell needs filling
is just one more indicator of your fear
so drink down your mandarin orange gravy
and take your chinese calculus in the rear
-----------------
CHORUS2
-
the manmade items in your magazine
made by men with matted hair in mandalay
-
include a chalice filled with meats of mangosteen
made for an administrator dressed in gray
----------------
BRIDGE
-
ask your quack doctor to take a bow
and your hijinx will leave everyone in awe
if you dub an extra copy for an ex con
to the vexation of everyone that we know
-
i had no use for a hydraulic jack until now
and now it's left a bad bruise on my jaw
i also wound up in bed with a bear cub at dawn
and this puts convex a agle on what we owe
-----------------
CHORUS3
-
the manmade items in your magazine
made by men with matted hair in mandalay
-
include a chalice filled with meats of mangosteen
made for an administrator dressed in gray
