"INSIDE THE MIND OF THE AVERAGE JOE" (lyric rough draft)
------------------------------
VERSES 1
-
Inside the mind of the average Joe
is where all household secrets lay
and in any district where we can go
heads out windows shout "hurrah".
-
Keep your speech abstract and low
and I might try to translate you if I may.
For a stiff drink or a bump of blow
I will transact business with your Ma.
------------------------------
PRECHORUS
-
But now see all the lost souls hitching on the highway.
------------------------------
CHORUS
-
Among my faint memories of Ohio
something distinguishes that special day
you dragged me into a discussion of Plato
and tried to buy the rights to my ballet.
-
At main points of access to the Congo
we keep the hungry livestock at bay;
like giant mouse traps set by NATO
are tcharts and graphs we must obey.
------------------------------
VERSES 2
-
Despite accomplishing two in a row
by maintaining focus like a laser ray,
I see the fluid discharge even though
you are inclined to comply with law.
-
You can extract every fact you know
but that is not the San Francisco way
tell me can you feel the magic grow
when you stay home full time in the raw?
------------------------------
REPEAT CHORUS
--------------------------------
BRIDGE
-
Is there a butchers block that I can borrow?
The trench around your house is too shallow.
for a messy mass too large to swallow
while we still have gained exactly zero.
-
The line to your fate is drawn with a gyro
attributed to some guy named Hal Castro.
It's anodes first and then cathodes to follow
and then shouting hurrah out an open window.

REPEAT CHORUS
