POIGNANT NONSENSE

A NOOSE MADE OF FEATHERS
SLIPS SO EASY 'ROUND THE NECK
IS JUST AS DEADLY AS THE HEMP
WHEN IT'S TIME TO COLLECT

THE TITANIUM GURU
SPEAKS IN SILENT THUNDER
PHYSICAL HYPNOSIS AND
SOULS TO PLUNDER

IONESCO IN A CHURCHYARD
MORE ABSURD YOU WILL NOT FIND
OR THE IRASCIBLE CALM
IN THE VISIONS OF THE BLIND

THE STUBBORN FORTITUDE
OF THE SOLDIER IN THE FIELD
THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING
HE HEARS BEHIND HIS SHIELD

ON THE GOOD SHIP, HARDSHIP
WE SING IN THE SAUNA
BLISSFUL IN OUR OBLIVION
AND AN UNHOLY MADDONNA

OH! SWEET MONOTONY
YOUR APATHY IS SO VIBRANT
LIKE THE STING OF THE SHARK
OR THE TEETH OF THE HYDRANT

LIKE ANNE BOYELYN'S NECKLACE
WE HAVE NO PLACE TO REST
UNLIKE JOB, OUR PATIENCE
IS SHAKY AT BEST

IF WE COULD SEE LIKE PICASSO
AND CARE LIKE POLLACK CARES
WE'D START TO FEEL LIKE DALI
ON ESCHER'S ENDLESS STAIRS

THIS VERSE IS SO IMPORTANT
THE MEANING HAS BEEN LOST
FORGOT WHAT I WAS SAYING
BUT REMEMBER AT ALL COST
