lyrics

You got a troubled stare
you don't look that way
something smells of Mantovani
and it's here to stay

Somewhere you bought a lake
on a map there's a pin
A tow truck for your Maserati
and a nippled manaquin

As black as it comes
as black as it goes
if you can't play ball
you'd better lay low

Every day it looks dark
the pressure falls so low
looking for your apothecary
on Bowery and Ho

How faint the moon
in the late afternoon
Sky of maroon
tell me how high the tune

Brian Stevens New Milford, Connecticut

I am an alien that was sent to earth to study humans and report my findings to minister Zolumb on the planet Yat. To fit in with other middle aged men in my area, I took up pretending to make music. Enjoy.
