Appendages flailing, you're running at me

Ferocious, tenaciously clawing at me

The devious gelatin holding me fast

Miraculous now you let me move past

Over the wall rushing rivers of sleaze

The tip of stalactites incising my knees

A slipper, a sand dollar day at the shore

Nice evening at home that I dread even more

Forgive me if I don't sign in your key

Look back on those days when my life was a haze

The gelatin lay on a truncated sleigh

Copernicus drank from a vessel that stank

The free masons crank to the overflow tank

Bane of the weasel, for biding his fun

Jump on the turnstile and watch me go 'round

Swim with the cactus and float with the stone

I try to convey what you strive to condone

Forgive me if I don't sing in your key

Why nothing is the first thing that I see

And if you do

And I see you

Then you will be the nothing left for me
