A funny pilgrim on a crazy crusade
a saucy chaucer, a sorry chapter mislaid
whittled with an exacto-knife plumb right thru my load-bearing wall
im horrified now i could do such a thing
but i thought i saw the singer
ive heard those chimes so many other times
but if i gave in it had to've been
i whupped it out and destroyed my selfish cocoon
since i gave in it had to've been
'n' i gave in , i hope it had to've been
im not an optomist... im not a realist
i might be a sub-realist but i cant substantiate
it was bigger than me and i felt like a sick child
dragged by a donkey thru the myrtle
