Lyrics: Find the faces of the statues in the hall See them come to life and crawl Down the stairway to the pool beside the gym Slide in for a midnight swim See the skeletons in closets by the door Open your eyes and explore Won’t you please invite them over for some tea You know their hearts and minds are free Mona Lisa weeps beneath a moonlit sky Marcel Duchamp discovers why Some say it’s because she has a hot behind Her mustache has made her blind As the rooster eyes the axe upon the wall Ancient echoes distant call Easter Island heads are rolling on the floor Laughter rings forevermore Wait for me Look for me Stay with me Eternally Wait for me Look for me See though me Completely Wait for me (overseeing) Look for me (overhearing) Stay with me (overlooking) Eternally -- Lyrics ©1983 Andrew L. Jackson

Lyrics: Sick old gentlemen’s plastic raincoats, Lined with the fur of the largest rabbit on earth. Whose ears once spoke the benediction, At Elizabeth the Second’s funereal pageant. The smell of wet hats. permeates The wax nostrils. of Elvis’s Ghost. Our Celestial Virgin, wipes her nose, On her long flowing white robe, And spits on the pavement, Where the sizzling saliva dances. Familiar Broken Bottles, Lay strewn, out of their heads. The Monuments and Statues, Ravaged by Gunfire, In the Sweet Temple of Jesus’s Ever-flowing Blood, Tangy and Fleshy. Although a bit soggy in the mouth, The rodents, drunk with fury, and religious intent, Bend forks with their minds. The smell of wet wafers, permeates the wax hat, of Elvis's Ghost Apollo's weak lips spread nasty rumors, about evil, immortal dabbling in occult nonsense. Empty of human heads and hands. The smell of wet hats. permeates the wax nostrils. of Elvis's Ghost. -- Lyrics ©1983 Andrew L. Jackson

Lyrics: You know the kind They drive around in their car And it doesn’t seem to matter how far Or how long the road will wind They’re just looking for something to find You know the type The grass is always greener there And it doesn’t seem to matter where They don’t want no ties that bind They’re just looking for something to find And they’ll know – what it is – when they see it If it’s free – what it is! – then they need it Down in the core They always want something more And it doesn’t seem to matter what for It doesn’t even cross their mind They’re just looking for something to find You know the type The grass is always greener there And it doesn’t seem to matter where They don’t want no ties that bind They’re still looking for something to find And they’ll know – what it is – when they see it If it’s free – there it is! – then they need it Then they need it – then they need it – then they need it -- Lyrics ©2008 Andrew L. Jackson
