tales from the looney bin

 
the edge of time is calling
my ringer is in the toilet
it's not taking messages

you left your calling card in shit
scribed on the walls of my heart
I confessed my love
you received the message
with smug satisfaction

stood me up on prom
you had a long-term
engagement at the madhouse
where you perform Judy Garland songs

the record keeps skipping
but you shuffle along
with Thorazine dreams
and Haldol nightmares

looney tunes are playing in your head
you're Wily coyote
I'm the roadrunner
beep, beep you're going to slow

take me out back
and we'll toast with a smoke
to an end of our madness
here, here

they'll lobotomize me tomorrow
the edge of time is calling
and I have to take the call

we have your soul here Crimsin
she made it home without you
