lyrics

I was waitin for the rapture and watching the big game
Jesus went to Luxton so the rapture never came
Rapture dude said 'Did I say May I meant October'
now the whole town is suffering with revelation phobia
Wise man built his house upon the rock
foolish man built his house inside a clock

The hideous man gazes upon his reflection
I can smell his filthy haunches I can smell his dejection
He been carving up the TV eating it for dinner
he should be gettin fatter but his head is gettin thinner
He got a time machine keeps track of the latest trends
he got a rocket ship to visit his so-called friends

The old lady kills the heat when she goes to her deathbed
I got codeine tylenol, rye whiskey for my aching head
I'm sitting in this kitchen chair going pretty fast.....nowhere
My toxified body is creaking and groaning
ghosts and demons are squeaking and moaning

Had to see what was in the TV had to see what made it ooze
Took a walk inside the TV with my TV walkin shoes
There's a poison toad squirming in the road
there's a 24 hour weasel diggin a great big hole
There's my Momma and my Daddy, Tinkerbell and the Beast
there's a made for TV movie 'bout a serial killing priest

Now there's blood on the carpet there's a hole in my door
my clock says one million when it oughta say four
There's a hard rain falling a hard hard rain
my legs are getting numb my skin is turning grey
I think I better take a trip right up to the sun
I'll just pack my lucky monkey and my magic ray gun

I can't get no sleep it's raining in my bed
I need an umbrella to keep the dreams off my head
Thing I like about night is it ain't light
thing I like about day is it ain't night
Best thing about trees is they don't walk
thing I like about stones is they don't talk

I buried my cemetery suit 'neath the old smokestack
I was waitin for the Revenue Man in a burning shack
when I dreamed I was a pig they called me Mr. Big
I had young strong men fetching my swill
It was a soma robot wing ding an alien spacecraft hymn sing
toothless Grampa skull grin I wish I knew just one thing
