PLANETARY STATUS REPORT!

What can I get
for 49 cents
can't pay rent
my truck has a dent
I committed a theft
woman done left
dog in a hole
I can't smoke a bowl
for Christmas there's coal
for 49 cents
what do you think of that gent?

What would I do
for a bucket of goo
that feeds my whore wife
and brings her to life
for goo
for me and for you
we'll work in the caves
and go to the raves
for a bucket of goo
What would I do
will my balls turn blue
will my woman stay true
or coo coo coo
with another man
like uncle Stan
her works in Japan
that's what SHE'D DO
What would I do?

What do I smell
like hell
sulfur and TIN
copper and WET
you BET
there's a crimson stain
near the brain
leaking tea
don't you see
what I smell?

Where can I live
where the sieve
can give
that purer WINE
that's fine
in summer
and never a bummer
forked women
laying in wait
by the pudding grate
too LATE
something has to give
WHERE CAN I LIVE?

How do I BREATHE
after you leave
and the lake turns cold
and I drink brown mold
the juice of the earth
from birth
to death
every smelly breath
snot on my sleeve
HOW DO I BREATHE?

How do I run
when the fun
drains away
and we're shuffling
all day
lurching
and crouching
slouching our way
sustained by fire
we never tire
we never stop
are you a cop?
How do I run?

WHERE IS THE FRIEND
when you're burning
at the end
you descend into HELL
ring a bell
and say "hey friend?"
oh well
only silence in the hall
grab a ball
do not tell
the sitting prince
he condescends
WHERE IS THE FRIEND?
