The Rhinoceros King (Bally hoo Bally hoo)

Mar 30, 2008 - 22:58 PM PST

A man ran down from the mountains. He wore wild asters in his hair and pinesap blotted his skin. The rock found him and he climbed it. The town saw him and he screamed it.

The principal stylists have fallen asleep
The stone has no form! The stone has no form!
Grab your hammers boys Grab your chisels
It’s a God Damned revolution and the IDEA needs shape

The man was a rhinoceros and he stood on four pillars of justice. His body was the law and led by the armored head thrusting its red stained horn. The rock crumbled beneath his feet and he breathed its dust.

The poachers have worms and can’t eat their young
Children run free in the jungle! Children run free in the jungle!
Grab you your flags boys Grab your rulers
It’s the God Damned future and the PAPER needs cursive

The rhinoceros was a lizard and he hid in the rubble. Dragon ancestors lived in his belly with smoke and insects. His dinner agreed they were goners and the grasshopper forgave the caterpillar. They unanimously voted to abolish bipartisan politics over a glass of wine.

The heroes are dead and crime has no enemy
The womb is lost! The womb is lost!
Grab your guns boys Grab your bibles
It’s the God Damned word and the BOOK has no ending

The lizard was an artist and a pragmatic spender. He had no body to feed and his thoughts moved the earth. He saw the ground and drew the rock. He heard the town and built a house.

The prime mover has fled he was thrown out at first
The game was great! It was a close one!
Swallow your shame boys Swallow your pride
It’s a God Damned rout and the SCORE is ugly
