I was alone
Skipping along
Killing the song
Making it long gone
I was alone
Breaking it off
Making it soft
Trudging the road home
Sear it like a vegetable.
Scarf it like a vegetable.
Nosh it like a vegetable.
I was a chump
Making the jump
Chilling the bump
Driving the speedboat
I was a chump
Swallow a lump
Kid I smote
Picking an eighth note
Steam it like a vegetable.
Green it like a vegetable.
Braise it like a vegetable.
Out of the black. Skipping the track.
Taking it back, I make a bid for the middle
Rough wrought like a cosmonaut
I got shunned for the refund
You're restless in your best dress
I'm depressed at your swank address
Live in the machinery
Salt sea of the hex you be
Hell-bound, surround the compound
Make the words swell in a villanelle
Ah, well; you got the dweller, dispeller
Tremble when you disassemble
Scrawl a rough map on the foolscap
Mr. Weinstein, drinking the strychnine
That's why--I compel--you to swim in the wishing well
Dirty like a vegetable.
Make it like a vegetable.
Fix it like a vegetable.
