Monologue / Birdland - Live
All I could see was an elephant, did you ever see an elephant graveyard?
It's just like teeth, it's letting in all this ivory, it's all these like grey leather hills studded with ivory teeth
God, elephant graveyard is-
I was walking through the elephant graveyard... elephant graveyard, what did I say, what did I say about a screen?
Screen is always a convenient to get out way out of a jam
What you do is-
I'm starting it, I can't even pull it, I have to pull something on myself in order to pull it, now I've got the handle on it, I know what I was up to
What I was gonna do is make a screen and then project another story so I can get out of the elephant story
It must be
Is there any story that- anything you would like to know about in specific?
Anything else?
Alright, ok
I've got all the information, I'm like a human computer
What did I dream, out of my window
What did I dream, when I was on my knees
And I have blue doctor dents
What was i praying for, to come close to me
I was real-
I was real like a real religious kind of child and it wasn't any particular church or anything it's just like i used to walk around I felt like a Hopi or something
And I was in Philadelphia and I was like "I miss school" and my mother would send me off to school i would go buzzing around and spaceships
It's like Malbury Street i didn't know what to tell her
I tried out all the religions cause I figured that the best person to figure out how to control yourself
We like Birdland
