| Did you just escape from the halfway house
Did time drag behind those stone walls Did you tire of always discussing your health with your counselors Hecate and Horis So put on your coat of many colors and go to the lonely fairy in the forest Did you just spend the last 10 years with the good time crowd Were you proud to be a shining satellite around their bon fire Did the morning reveal empty cans, cigarette buts and ringing ears and the only way you had left to define justice So steal your mother's fetish blindfold and go to the lonely fairy in the forest Is the bus you ride the 22 Mary Celeste Are the other passengers cold and strange Do they remind you that your life isn't really your own Do your eyes sing the song of dust So teach your pirate's parrot a Woody Guthrie song and go to the lonely fairy in the forest He's the kind of fish you fry if you dive into these waters that are filled with old tires, moonlight and unhappy eels where the hunger of the great beyond is beyond hunger and the content of your heart only adds spice to their meal So if you bring him a shot glass for his shot glass collection and say, "My lonely fairy, but you're looking young and thin," Then mocking you he'll throw some new stars on the horizon and throw a horoscope where only the good people win Is your dream of serenity a broken watch that you shake and shake but can't get ticking Are the voices in your head paranoid alcoholics who breathe in your face and say, "you know you deserve us" |
