My cigarette died when I washed my face
Dropped some drops for an ashtray, hit a wrong place
Whoa, open up my blinds to see spiders spinning nines
It's uh safe as milk, it's uh safe as milk
I never heard it put quite that way
The shape I'm in is worn away
They called the day, they called the 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 onto line
Jumping onto leg, looking mighty fine
Sorrows lollipop lands stick-broken on a dark carnival ground
Pop up toaster cracklin', aluminum rhythm and sound
Everyday pencil, lazy and sharp
Icebox inside looking like a harp
Electric bulb been out for years
Freezer fumes freezin' gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile long beard
Bacon blue bread dog-eared
Bacon blue bread dog-eared
Bacon blue bread dog-eared
Bacon blue bread dog-eared
Bread dog-eared
I may be hungry, but I sure ain't weird
Safe As Milk
Lusty Alley Whining Trash Can Blues.....oh my-o-my. I think that I sing along to quite a few of Don's songs with made up gibberish coz I've no idea what he is singing.
