Thimbledrome

What's the matter? Who cares?
People running everywhere
Running like decapitated chickens in the rain
Never mind the poultry,
I'd rather stay at home
I hope that my old lady's
feeling like a lazy Jane

No one really thinks I'm funny,
not the way that she does
She is stranger more than fiction,
dictionary definition
Why don't we go take a drive
and why don't we take your car?
Mine is nearly out of gas
and nearly broken down

Light a flame and cheap Bordeaux
and incense wafting in the air
Steal a kiss and listen to the sound of falling rain
Never mind your diet,
I'd rather stuff our guts
Making funny faces on the windowpane

We run, we run, we run
And we're happy inside of this place
The walls are half the fun
'Cause anarchy stays in its space

Huddled in the pilot's seat
our tanks are filled with Thimbledrome
We check the dash and turn the motor on
Never mind the man in orange,
we know our own way home
We crush him flat and shoot into the sky

There's a baby on its way
because of what we do so much
Shooting like a comet from the other end of space
Someday, I don't know which one,
a pair of little feet will come
Creeping like a monkey with a creepy little face

And I will spank that monkey,
spank that monkey
Spank that monkey if it gets out of line
And I will spank that monkey,
spank that monkey
And he'll thank me someday
when I'm seventy-nine

We run, we run, we run
And we're happy inside of this place
The walls are half the fun
'Cause anarchy stays in its space

Allow me to extend to you
a special invitation to
Watch the wrinkles form upon my
face as I grow old
Christmas time and Halloween
and all the days that lie between
Hand in hand we'll watch as all the years unfold

We run, we run, we run
And we're happy inside of this place
The walls are half the fun
'Cause anarchy stays in its space
We run, we run, we run
Yeah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
The walls are half the fun
And we're happy inside of this place
Happy inside of this place
