Safe As Milk [Take 12]
Captain Beefheart

Well, my cigarette died when I washed my face

Dropped some drops in an ashtray; hit a wrong place

Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning lines

It's a safe as milk; it's a safe as milk

I never heard it put quite that way

The shape I'm in is a gone away

They called a day; they called a day

Yesterday's paper headlines approach rain gutter, teasing rusty cat, sneezing

Soppin' wet hammer dusty and wheezing

Lusty alley, whining trashcan blues

Children running after rainbows, stocking poor

Gracious ladies' nylon, hanging on to line

Jumping onto leg, looking mighty fine

Sorrows, lollipop lands, stick-broken on a dark carnival ground

Pop-up toaster, cracklin' aluminium, rhythm and sound

Ev'ry day pencil, lazy and sharp

The icebox inside, looking like a harp

Electric bulb been out for years; Freezer fumes feed the gas tears

Cheese in the corner with a mile-long beard

Beggin' blue bread dog-eared

Beggin' blue bread dog-eared

I may be hungry, but I sure ain't weird
