STAY ALIVE EVEN IF YOU DIE, ROSE
I cried hard when I first breathed the gas of Earth in St. Ann Hospital with the dirty martinis
They told me later that the city I was born in was the city of bad smells, the natives just sayin’
Apparently the fish from the lake come and die every year because of mystery H2O pollution
Born at end of August in ‘51, hop skip and jump down Augusta to Oak Street Beach bikinis.
Immortally yours and mine, a thought without evidence, dead men tell no holy, sacred tales
Oh wait! They do tell stories about unbelievable fat attached to the sad bones in honor of me
Tell me something good and then tell me something even better ‘til you run out the barroom
Function of this phantasm is replication of a heart’s pulse, recovers from the Tango of doom.
Not that it was even close on my part although my gentleman accompanying me, A1 nucleotide
Looked the other way again ‘cause you know masks keep germs in your face, so wash the face
Singing and dancing for no reason at all other than you’re just stayin’ alive, without a mas, D.
Energy for the minions and the rulers of them all, here and now in this place with that there
Form of the substance looks like us, in corduroy and gaberdine these colors take breath away
Substance of the one room hovel is the measure of the treasure, the value of the #Ends today
Mass and the speed of light combine to force Time to warp, from 3rd to 4th dimension’s care.
Future perfect is the will to be what would have been if it only should’ve been, I would have
Not everybody’s alike in fact everyone’s distinctly up in the mood to swing a single swing
Dusk until dawn as it should be and the girls all rocked the house on down below as above
Mercury to Pluto, easy to say but impossible to fathom a trip to a Twilight Zone of Nothing.
