LyricMeaning

Poise 'n Pen
Elliott Murphy

I got a heart so thick that its tearing me apart

And a baby so sick she can't tell us apart

And whoever's in the big house makes no difference to me

And what you see is just a reflection of all the bathroom walls

In the cave where the bus terminal monster falls

Into the head of the golden runaway

Whose heard nothing at all

About the Thursday night crowd

How they live and how they love to see you fall


You can be the queen of hippies and I'm the king of fools

And we'll have our bed for breakfast and watch the peasants drool

Till you find out that your palace was only their back room

And what you got are giant soup cans that laugh at your life

And a telephone existence and a magazine wife

And a drum that keeps drumming and a brain that's so white

It goes out into the sun

And you find out why you love the night

Ain't that a fright



Oh midnight raiders break down the doors looking for

Anti society

Pop city dolls who smoke long cigars

Looking for some notoriety

Who could have known what motion pictures could bring

Pandora's box didn't know everything

She'd never been to Beverly Hills


And what you hear is just the dark side of every joke

And the sound of French prostitutes who stare at you and smoke

Under a red neon sign that says god is hope

While all the bleach blond moms

Tell their pimpled bombs

Not to mope

Just use more soap
