lyrics

What would you think if I visited your neighborhood tonight
we'd head out for the pub and tip a few while lookin for a fight
well I know you know I'm not serious what a kidder I can be
you know I'd rather do coffee and listen to your poetry

but ever once in awhile I have a fantasy
out in the western badlands pot-shotting at posse
or wading in jungle bog bayonet in my teeth
stalking another person designated enemy

scoping from a tower random rifle fire
plant plastic explosive tied tight to trip wire
there's something awfully dreadful running through our age
lingering from last century ferocious karmic rage

2.
what if someone galloped up on rearing quarter horse
to escort you in mode arrest to dungeon fascist force
and in that dark damp dreary cell you'd wonder wherefore art
precious habeas corpus and the right to chase your star

ever once in awhile I have a fantasy
laying serious siege to entrenched authority
across moat ladder climb swingin singin sword
against a shield so greater than even the mighty word

strutting as the victor prisoners envy dead
survey conquered land arrogance wraps my head

there's something awfully dreadful running through our age
lingering from last century ferocious karmic rage

you know I'd rather do coffee and listen to your poetry
