Redboots And The Helmet Lyrics

Redboots smiled like an electric child

The gift his father gave him

Came straight from God

"Journey onward, Son

Through porcupine
nights and daffodil days..."

This was in 19 something and 5

Before
the rise of the faceless union

In the heart of Mork and Mindy

Spit
through tubeless transportation



This catastrophic nightmare
endured

Just a burning fart away

From the terminal tooth decay



The landscapes

The algoythms

Penelope

The head
shrinkers

We're all too much



Like a sunburn in the
arctic

The best Elvis on Earth

The final calculation of slaughtered
Indians

On reruns of Rawhide



Redboots picked up a rock

And threw it through an adjacent window

Angry looking people sat
luridly in the press box

And the lucky passers-by who stood

Gawking
at the new messiah



If you're gonna take a look

Do it by the
book

Question the plot?

Obviously not



And the last
thing under construction was my mind...
