A burst of mad words from a tattered scroll
a clockwork medallion plays Jelly Roll
from a tinsmith’s heart a sound of joy
grab the grenade and pull the pin
the full scale orrery is nothing but a child’s toy
Open up your arms baby and let me in
A storm of syllables from a top hat
my invisible friend is grinning like a cheshire cat
cross my heart and hope to reincarnate
ask me no questions and I swear I’ll speak true
the answer to the pyramids is sealed in a dusty crate
and it alone explains how I found you
A whirlwind of images blows my mind
make no mistakes justice and wealth are blind
so I may die a pauper in chains
and you my murdering friend go free
but it won’t make me rack my brains
I’ll just whistle what will be will be
