Hark
If you want to stay outside the abominable Digital Strawberry
Up in the hill near the supermarket
Way past the field of the shadows and smog
Beyond the needles of the toy shop bus stop
Know that it brings to thee a sign
To smite the sea slug
Of contemporary, unnecessary, unsanitary relation
Lurking about in your neighbors' apothecary
Concocting toxins and bottles of the big money serpents
Do you dare show up unannounced
Denouncing his pronouncements of radioactive love?
Got lost in your eyes again and now you're asking
Who I've been
And I'm terrified
I can't let you know that inside I'm itching
The one thing you can't get behind
But I'm trying
I swear I'd make you see heaven tonight
And now you're asking if I've been alright
And if I dare speak my mind, it's my funeral, funeral
Hey, but it's business as usual
You caught me looking at the scabs on your skin
Let me in
I'm no parasite
I got so many legs you might ask where I end
And begin
I'll let you decide
If I'm worthy
To be attached at the hip or the spine
I've always wanted to see through your eyes
And be so close that I'm just as delusional, oo-oo-ooh
But it's business as usual
I try to unsee it but I can't forget
Just how perfectly I fill that space in your bed
We've got two cells of big brown atomic half-lives
The chemistry isn't simple, but it doesn't lie
So, neighbors, I leave you with this
Be wary of the dreary no-good theory seeping through your TV screens
And searing into your brain
Clearly, mistresses and dastardly masters
Masterfully dredging up the past sure won't get you anywhere fast
Behold the pop star power and bountiful star speed
Of the Digital Strawberry
His nematic numbness and nuptial newness
Will crucify any shred of doubt in your heart
That you are a child of the fruit
