Mighty Strange

from 3 Wheels 9 Lives by Thermal And A Quarter

lyrics

I bite my lip and watch the parade
It’s a long line from the stockade
There’s twenty-four spangled horsemen
It’s like there never was a better charade

And on the top is the dubyaman
He’s sitting mighty pretty, feeling groovy
He’s never been called to the flush line
He’s all left feet but how does he do the boogie

Mighty strange and vaguely deranged
I’m fighting the rising bile
In the wreck of my mind is the sorry starship
Carried me over every jungle mile

It’s late in the evening and the hooter girls
Are flashing in the corner of my screen
As I jack into another download whirl
Oh brother just where have I been

Flying fingers tremulous and free free
Tapping on the plastic menagerie
Why does it always get so clear
When the cricket song dies of morning fear

Mighty strange and vaguely deranged
I’m cruising the jet speed high
And the blinkety blink of the magic line
Is hypnotizing cauterizing and very alive

In every song and every spin
Is the pattern of the older lie
All I do is watch the river flow
The river flow the river flow

Mighty strange and vaguely deranged
I’m burning out it’s very cool
I’ll have to do this again with the balls of light
Get moody blue and play the fool
