When you run out of energy On the best thought worst thought plan Pack up your dictionary And head for the magician's bungalow Where he keeps the soda gong
Take a square or two of time coal For the board to gasify And watch the mile greenhorn a dial
From the safety of the lozenge ward
Record the sunrise broncs In your onion book While the black snake search Takes an oblique swatch Of the olive-loin trajectory To feed the ounce code orange Its tea half average
It is chokablock with kelp And activity of honks
They serve "milk on the lob" And "egg egg egg"
The price pin prince light Comes over the scow mine Iron flakes and immobile drops The evening is a brief card game
When the tides are off We will still have lexicons And buttonholes
But the weather weight berry And the origami ice neighbor Will need new sorrows To play the metal slinky As it climbs down The whole earth catalogue
