Bikini Island Coma
when I was in a coma
did we meet up some place in Oklahoma
the only surviving sister
of the ghost night Delaware City triplet ukulele singers
she asked me in a song
am I the one you loved all along
well babe all I hear
are these bubbles between our lips the music
and the beer
after all every emptiness
gonna get filled up with something sometime
can you leave your old hat behind
or will it define a lifetime
well grandfather clock unwind
well grand mama clock unwind
the house is yours but the land is mine
we're well licked envelopes alright
I dunno where we're going
I just wanna know what's inside
it's a rattlesnake poison medicine
my Philadelphia Berlin experiment
on the cover of Time Magazine
damn we looked good in the 1950's
good looking out of place at we
oh I am when I can but man
I ain't no envy
Willkommen auf Bikini Island
where everyone is permanently smiling
we got lost taking out the trash
baby let's see who laughs last
when the stars of the movie are the same one's who are watching
and the grass is so lucky green as green as a Hollywood screen
and of course all the writers are smoking
all my friends think I'm just joking
the director was always choking
on a JUMBO shrimp
to my dearest ones and only
how we loved us so young drunk and crispy
will we love us more than really when we're old and shriveling
back into nothing
when I was in a coma did we meet up someplace in lalalala lalalala lalalala
