“Resurrection Rodeo”

Resurrection Rodeo

Whose Wearing Those Naked Clothes?

Like A Suit Of Armor

On A Pack Of Joes—

Dipping Their Woes

In The Simple Lows.

Where Ignorance Stands

With A Wooden Pecker

And A Glass Of Nectar.

Wankers Like To Stand

Holding Jungle Juice

Fresh Out Of

The Lie-Filled Frying Pan

With A Waffle Print Hand

Riding An Albatross

With A Tan.

Grateful Toes

Stand Up And Be Proud

Wearing That Kiss-Ass Shroud.

Drop The Dirty Pitch

In Your Fear-Filled Ditch.

And Let The Music Out.

Make Your Spirit Loud.

Rumble With The Crowd. . .

Rump Lets One Go—

Puff Of Smoke Instant Blow

Like A Mound Of Snow

With An Fiery Glow.

Now You Know.

It’s Not About The Dough.

Nothing Smells Best Than

A Load Of Grateful Toes

Wiggling For A Pose.

Minds Keep Turning Round,

Bullshit Thoughts Make Crazy Sounds.

Psyche Cables Ain’t No Fable

Listen To That Roar

From Your Inner Door.

And It’s Beat Goes Like This—

“Dance Me To My Core―

Feather Feet Never Bore.

Create As You Speak―

Groove For The Weak.

Fish Don’t Preach.”

Can Be Damn Good Fun.

With Impulses Sublime―

Go Ahead— Ride That Aging Horse

Hooked On

An Eternal Thinking Course.

When Belief Are Battle Worn.

Socks Chew Gum

Caught That Smell Like A Ringing Bell.

Smooth Talking Souls Have Lots Of Holes.

Reality Knows Perceptions Wear Royal Clothes.

Pull-On Those Wading Boots

Cause Socks Chew Gum

After A Bottle Of Bullshit Rum.

Inside That Mental Den?

And Get That Fright―

A Positive Set Of Lights.
