Safe as Milk (Take 12)

DON VAN VLIET

Well my cigarette died when I washed my face
Dropped some drops in an ashtray hit a wrong place
Woman at my blinds to see spiders spinning lines
It's a safe as milk it`s a safe as milk
I never heard it put quite that way

The shape I`m in is a gone a way
They called a day they called a day
Yesterday`s paper headlines approach rain gutter teasing rusty cat sneezing
Soppin' wet hammer dusty and wheezing

Lusty alley whining trashcan blues
Children running after rainbows stocking poor
Gracious ladies nylon hanging on to line
Jumping onto leg looking mighty fine

Sorrows lollipop lands stick-broken on a dark carnival ground
Pop up toaster cracklin' Aluminium rhythm and sound
Every day pencil lazy and sharp
The icebox inside looking like a harp

E-lectric bulb been out for years Freezer fumes feed the gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile long beard
Beggin` blue bread dog eared (repeat twice)

I may be hungry but I sure ain`t weird
