Safe As Milk

Safe As Milk



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

Its 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

Ev'ry 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
