lyrics

I travel by river to avoid the parade,
keeping an eye out for the house,
the house where I once stayed,
but returning back home to find more of the same.
In order to frame the short circuit, short circuit the frame,
and, in any case, it’s the same sort of circus--
the exact same person minus the name.
The same old shapes stuck in another domain,
and all across the nation, the charade remains.
At this time my thoughts go out to Dick and Jane.

At this time my thoughts go out to Dick and Jane
for being unable to forecast cold rain,
and deliver the bullet when Spot was in pain.
After he lost that leg, he never was the same.
While all across the nation, the charade remains.
Left brain on vacation in the middle of my right brain.
But even on vacation, on vacation in my brain,
my thoughts go out to Dick and Jane!

In America, In America, In America, I’ve been
making wrong choices for myself while embroiled in a pumpkin skin.
It’s not a dream, neither was it a dream,
but it’s ridiculously real, as some may seem.
At least at it seemed to me,
my first right wrong, good bad choices
sheathed in the skin of a pumpkin,
many of these choices already having been made
within the middle of the pumpkin seed. I was saying
"Now I read the book, there’s nothing left to read.
Now that this has been said, I've got nothing to say,
so I might as well leave".
Which leads me back, right back to the refrain.
At this time my thoughts go out to Dick and Jane.
