Dave Brubeck Lyrics

Nosferatu is my father
Possum hang across the rafters
Pigeon flutter ever upward
K mart
It's a nail on the outside
Outer edge n bent it downward
Lighter whit the flint a bouncin
Lighter than the ozone layer

Locker case where all the blood at
Basket case for all the buzzards
Coldest feet among the Folgers
Oldest reef amid the oil rigs
Mobius strip is how my life
Leæther strip is how my ears
USB is how my choices
Kosher salt is how my voice is

Lyric comment on my coyness
Wooden drummer on my wristie
Water bottle society
Saving gained notoriety
Vinyl records are my aura
Petrified aesthetic
Coca cola aquaduct
King Cobra is my doctor

Cheekin what ya voklie for?
Border collie hardly joy
Fiber ultra fiver push
Wire optic high stone age
Finest Acapulco Gold
Mighty mighty ugly tones
Get me going in the morn
Get me going in for broke

Donnie Darko at the window
Bob barker on the cymbals
On the television, pictures
Picture power figure say his allies you and the enemy evil
Watch them fall for it like Rome
Watch them doin what they told
Spock, shocking upheavals

Stocking up on mystery
Mispronouncing fearlessly
Nothing there a clear drinky
Pacify a mere binky
Askin' them a what ya thinking
Castaway the ugly inchworm
Wilson in a game of pickup
Books were lost at sea

Carharted modern bard
Fire hardened on the farm
Parboiled in your arms
Not my voice on the phone
Not my face in the mirror
Gargoyles aren't stone
Matter how they might appear
You will see they're made of fear

If I'm Not myself then who is?
Not myself but then who am I?
Couple jokers out a new deck
Whither way the boolean fly
Either day I'm either Eeyore
Or a three toe in the treetops
Or Dr Gonzo in the bathtub
Haven't cracked the code yet either


Robin hood might be my hero
I find art along the street
Not my face that's in the mirror
Not my voice that's in the beat
Not the faintest bit of dope
All that glitter isn't hope
All them cinema n shows
Not the shit for everyone

Life ain't all a Fiji Water
Unless you got the avocado
Those folks are olive garden
Never had a hot tamale
And Propeller portabello
Shot ya burger tween the lettuce
bun lost most its sesame
The beef, they haven't noticed.
