COOLING OFF

The smoke is in my eyes

The other woman is in there

She gropes and disappears

It is the cheapest of cheap trick


There are two wrought locks

And my heavy key fits neither

Cal is in there for hide and seek

I cannot play this black joke


I wake up and adjust my eyes

He is pruning himself in the dark

Singing in an unknown language

I ask cannot hear over the hairdryer


I heard the voice from above say

It is time to get down baby and bow

BE COOL BEE COOOOOOOOL

I said with a mouth full of gold toast


Watching the steam rise

On my holy cup of roast
