Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

Go-Go Gadget Gospel

Take me to the Church of Funk
Rap in Rhapsody
Bless with Style
Extol virtue with vim
Make that Soul sing and dance.


Crazy

We all could be crazy
Living in this crazy world
The complexity is maddening
Where only the mad succeed
Maybe we should all be mad.


St. Elsewhere

This Man is an island
named St. Elsewhere
and maybe it is paradise
destined for a deserted desert island
but a little company would be nice.


Gone Daddy Gone

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
but that is all behind
as the love is gone
looks aren't everything
only time tells true beauty.


Smiley Faces

What put that wonderful smile on your face?
Can you tell me
as it can all be hard,
yet I find it easy when you smile
and the world smiles with you.


The Boogie Monster

Something horrible is here
a dreadful creature of the night
what could this monster be,
why the monster: is me
and beauty will soothe the savage beast in the sheets.


Feng Shui

Short and simple
Auspices of Architecture
Attention to detail
Structured Style
Flowing format
to conform within Feng Shui.


Just a Thought

Thinking too much
enough to want to blow my brains out
while having to justify my existence
Trying anything and everything,
and suicide is just a thought....


Transformer

I can change form in a blink
There is more than meets the eye
What you see is not just what you get
might as well be a machine mate
Watch me do it!


Who Cares?

Basically I'm Complicated
And I could expand on that more
spouting cunning contradictions
Rambling rhetoric about reality
but at the end of the day: who cares?


On Line

I'm close to the edge
though I make it look easy
yet the smile is only skin deep
and I'm more than friendly enough
but nobody crosses that line.


Necromancer

I bet you're dying to meet me,
that's good because life sucks
and death lasts longer
enough for some fun,
Even so, maybe living is not that bad now that I'm sad.


Storm Coming

No art can herald it
and you will feel the force,
you can try to weather me
yet I am the inevitability of nature
For I am the Storm Coming.


The Last Time

Dance however you want to be
as dance will set you free
And it takes two to Tango
so take my hand and my lead
For I am Lord of the Dance.

Author's Note
Entry for Missy's "Sgt. Pepper’s Hunky Dory Yellow Brick Road" competition. Time almost got the better of me, but I denied it and wrote this! Written while listening to the album: so each poem almost matches the track play time.
