lyrics:

According to my recollection,
saws his tails for speed
Saddest fact, I just found
a medicine to sleep

Thought that I’d invent a new show,
“Pencil Waste in Space”
Found this dog, licked his paw,
then I guessed the score

Oh so laugh, baby,
I’m not afraid of life
Found this thing
to understand how you get off, get up

If you want it,
I am not that discontent
Found my legs as smooth as Geppetto

It’s a wreck you’re jealous
Sandman’s fought the best
Sandman’s just a villain
as wild as the West

Who’s that lass
across the meadow? (bad lass)
find this time, I lose that steno

I stand slick in an ink black meadow
I’m not spaced, but who’s Chichetto?
