Under the Influence

"Everything you do is for music." Now out past the cast of boredom Cards get dealt i sift and sort them Table rooftops coming down Wooden nickels lost and found Apple pie i'm eating cake now Coming to the table late now Juke joint fights and diamond lights Immune to poision ivy snake bites Batteries from start to chuck Got the outer limits voodoo luck Stand by on a highball holiday Served fresh from a plastic tray I've been 'round and up and down Overboard when the ship came down Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light I'm under the influence tonight Well, on the concrete on the glass Beyond the neon green bus pass Nowhere fast is where I'm going Like a crack that's slowly leaking juice on the floor Do a little less i take a little more time Day to day and eye to eye When these walls become alive When these walls become alive I've been 'round and up and down Overboard when the ship came down Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light I'm under the influence I've been 'round and up and down Overboard when the ship came down Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light I'm under the influence tonight Now the sparkle helmet spins around Midnight streak in a twist top town Crystal clear through amber glasses Bad with names but worse with faces Zig zag wander on the swerve Transparent mason dixon curves I've got more nerve than a tiki torch in a quiet storm So I'm searchin' for the third kind Blast off and cut the cord Blast off and cut the cord "Fascinating." "The time has come to go out of your mind." I've been 'round and up and down Overboard when the ship came down Out of mind and sight in the strobophonic light I'm under the influence tonight I'm under the influence tonight I'm under the influence.
