Woke Up Wrong

Bleary Android in his gummy sack
Don’t let him get to you
Or let him start interesting you
Count the moments till the
Beast comes back
(Cock and Sock Town all on lockdown)
Morning rictus on the blighted stair:
Seize the moment with hilarious despair
Night time was pretty now it’s such a pity
He’s just a huggy bear that nearly lost it back there
Where the lights shine, it’s not a good time:
It could go anyway
Mining for meaning in the House of Song
Tried to be so strong but just Woke Up Wrong today
Barney Manglue
With his running gags
(You wouldn’t want to do the kind of things he wants from you)
Butcher’s sawdust in a hundred bags
(Needs that soak-up since he woke up)
Stretch the moment with his steely claw
Spread this second to infinity and more
World-matter rattle. it’s a losing battle
(We always knew it had a tendency to get bad)
With the fire-hose under the bed-clothes
Whiling the time away
Lamprey Da Sousa found the nights too long
In his silver thong
He just Woke Up Wrong today
Beery Hand-Jew
Where the great bird flies
He hasn’t given in
You haven’t heard the last of him
Stridulation -half a million cries-
Butched-out-come-down
Top-down-shunt-round
Swept to power on a wave of joy
All the balloons up
For a special little boy
See how he rises to his glittering prizes!
(Something sublime behind this vacuous design)
You wait a lifetime, and it’s a hard climb
Just to get by ok
Fuel up the feeling 'cause you don’t get long
'Ding dong!' I just Woke Up Wrong today
