Boogieman

lyrics

I’m a world beater, fueling up his spaceship full of ruin
Tired of sitting around hoping things get done if I don’t do them
Pursuant to the semi-luminous glow the pen develops
I take traditional word collections then I bend with relish
So pardon the pawn, the pun and all the other transgressors
Maybe even your blue haired Aunt Esther
Forget Jesus, she’s got a fetus on a chain
And a slogan to shout, but you’ve got to love her all the same
Life’s too full to let a difference turn to downfall
Even if it’s easy to divide inside of town halls
She’s by her stove making recipes in hopes you’ll visit
Sitting sadly by the window with her woeful visage
Cause most who listened were her friends who went and passed away
never once did she think that she’d be the last to stay
Her lair’s lined with the Hummel figurines
Used to call the Franklin Mint, but now she’s onto bigger dreams

I go to RediMed with a heavy head
Yeah, I’ll wait a while. What the hell, I’m already dead
Man, I’ve got to get a job with some proper benefits
Cause when I’m sick, being broke is my nemesis
The ends justify the means
But there’s a cliffhanger hanging on the TV screen
So I sit in purgatory’s waiting room reading magazines
Trying not to smell the puking kid heaving Dramamine
Nobody looks around, they’re suffering alone
Baby cries while her nervous mother mutters in the phone.
My insurance plan has got a credit limit, what about yours?
They give you discounts when you pay up front for loud sores
I charge it to Discover, hope to find the money later
I abstain from playing hoops and other dumb behavior
Can’t afford an injury cause sprained ankles hinder me
From doing my job, a broken cog in this industry

I guess the point that I’m trying to make
Is you can think that you’re safe, that you might escape
I guess the point that I’m trying to make
Is you can think that you’re safe, that you might escape
