lyrics

I was walkin’ down a highway
between a strip mall
& an Amazon distribution center

A great rip in the skies came from above
& a bolt of lightning struck a tree in front of me

Suddenly a vision appeared from the flames…
It was Norm Macdonald!

He looked at me
with a glint of glee in his eyes
and he sang me this song:

“I saw a peasant, I saw a king
I saw a galaxy spinning
I saw a future, I saw a past
I saw a present that wouldn’t last
I saw the bottom, I saw the top
I saw the ending that wouldn’t stop
I saw forever, I saw for now
I saw the why, the what, and how

I saw a porno, I saw a rock
I saw the nothing of how I talk
I saw a vision, I saw a dream
I saw the Nothing of Everything
I saw the bottom, I saw the top
I saw the ending that wouldn’t stop
I saw forever, I saw for now
I saw the why, the what, and how”

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
