Stay Weird

from Plumb Drastic by Al Grantham

lyrics

Make love to a garden spade
Then strip search the sky
‘Cause Larry loves Larissa
They see eye to glass eye

Found peace in an arrangement
Of derangement at last
But if you have to ask
You have been miscast

The lovebirds fled the park bench
And the empties prevailed
Until Asia came collecting
Put their trash up for sale

Found peace in an arrangement
Of derangement at last
But if you have to ask
You have been miscast

So if you’re sinkin’ in a technicolour livin’
Let this lesson of confessin’ ring through
There ain’t no power to empower all the cowards
Like the power of a coward in you
They may stare and they may glare
But your despair is just a ripple
In an ocean of true
Come on Lar’ don’t hang your head
You’ll be messin’ up the point of view

Stay weird

Larry met Wesley
Under dungeon dim lights
And after cleaning the contraption
They bled by candlelight

Found peace in an arrangement
Of derangement at last
But if you have to ask
You have been miscast

Now the world is big and scary
For the flies caught in the web
Who say Kubrick shot the moon land
And those planes were flown by feds
And all recorded history
Was born inside a mind
At least that’s what Wesley told me
When they were getting high

And still the hustle and the bustle
Has been bustin’ the balls of the queerest at heart
While droppin’ roses and promotions at the feet
Of all those dull enough to act their parts
The joke is thin it’s always been but it’s on them
Laughed Larissa gettin’ drunk at the bar
Come on boys don’t hang your heads
Or you’ll miss another shooting star

Stay weird
