lyrics

A is for apple
B is for the bite
C the cacophony that sprang into the light
D was the first chord begetting E and F and
G growling on my guitar
Oh yes

H has aspirations
I is stuck with me
J is out there jockeying for lejitimacy
K the silent knowledge of L, M and N
A lullaby humming in beginning to end

It all makes up the lexicon
of all I think and do
It all comes out as gibberish
when I try to talk to you

O is a just circle
P includes the pen
Q and R the same design with tails tacked on their ends
S has those sexy curves breaking all the rules
T is stark and holy
but it’s all about U

V is for vanish a fate we all must share
W is for what and who and when and why and where
X is for nothing
Y I dunno
Z or Z: we can’t agree

Here we go down a road
Does it stop nobody knows
A descent into nothing
An ascent that goes and goes
Potato or potato, tomato or tomato

Let’s call the whole thing off
