Manik Episode

I'M IN A MANIK EPISODE
SO I JUST MIGHT UP AND EXPLODED
TOO MANY HIGH CARB SNACKS
LIKE HOHOES IN SIX PACKS
MY HEAD IS SPINING
MY FAMILIES NERVES ARE THINING
I WISH I COULD RELAX

THINGS SEEM TO SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN
I WANT TO DRESS UP LIKE A CLOWN
IM A ROLLER SKATING FOOL
WITH WATERFALLS OF BUBBLING DROOL
AND ROLLACOASTERS
ELECTRIC SHOCKS FROM TOASTERS
AND TABASCO SAUCE SEEM MILD


I WANT TO JUMP OUT OF A PLANE
AND RUN IN CIRCLES ROUND A TRAIN
FLY THROUGH THE NEPTUNE RINGS
MAKE HERBAL TEA IN MINERAL SPRINGS
TO SPIN AROUND IN CIRCLES
MATCH WEIRD IDEAS WITH URCLES
PLAY BASKET BALL WITH MY BRAIN


ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH HOW I SEEM
DO YOU BELIEVE I'M ON THE BEAM
MUST I DO CARTWHEELS DOWN THE ROAD
OR TURN A PRINCE INTO A TOAD
I'M OLD AND DIZZY
MY MIND IS IN A TIZZY
MY CURDS AND WHEY HAVE TURNED TO CREAM


DIG ALL THOSE KRAZY KATS AND DOGS
THEY'VE GOT THE KOOLEST LOOKING TOGS
BERETS AND REAL DARK SHADES
BLACK LEOTARDS AND ROUGH CUT JADES
CIGARETTES IN LONG LONG HOLDERS
BRAIDED HAIR DOWN PAST THEIR SHOULDERS
DANCING DADDY-O AND MOMMY-A JOGS



I'M FLYING UP AND DOWN AND OUT
MY HEART SLOWS DOWN AND TURNS ABOUT
RESPRITORY FALSE ARREST
SOME DOCTORS AREN'T THE BEST
AMBULANCES ALLWAYS COMEING
FINGERS ON MY HEAD ARE DRUMMING
I'M ALIVE? MY THOUGHTS ARE, YES: IN DOUBT
 
THE MENTAL WARD IS ON THE PHONE
A PADDED CELL I CALL MY HOME
THOUGH THE WALLS ARE NICE AND SOFT
I HAVE BALLOONS IN MY LOFT
EVERY OTHER ONE IS POPPING
MY SIDEBURNS COULD USE CROPPING
A STRIGHT JACKET THAT IS MADE OF CHROME

I'M CUTTING TOOTH PICKS WITH AN AXE
MY CANDLE DRIPS BUT WINE NOT WAX
STICK A HOSE UP IN MY NOSE
FLIP A SWITCH AND O 2, BLOWS
911 SAYS PLEASE QUIT CALLING
THE POLICE ARE BUSY HAULLING
THE SURRVIVERS OF MY FALLING STACKS

OF COMIC BOOKS I THOUGHT I READ
THEY MUST HAVE FALLEN FROM THE BED
JUST BECAUSE I CHANGED MY MIND
TURNED ARROUND AND TRIED TO FIND
ANOTHER ONE I HAD BEEN READING
ABOUT ROBOTS, CLONES AND SEEDING
THE NEXT GALAXY WITH SPORES I SHED

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

ON THE NEXT DAY THINGS SEEM JUST FINE
PERHAPS JUST SLIGHTY OUT OF LINE
AT LEAST THAT’S HOW IT SEEMS
DESHAVUE AND EERIE DREAMS
AND THATS A WHOLE LOT MORE LIKE NORMAL
EVEN THOUGH NOT SEMI-FORMAL
AFTER YESTERDAY IT'S QUITE DEVINE

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I'M BOTH TOO YOUNG AND OLD AT ONCE
FOR ME AND FOR MY AUDIENCE
A BABY TO A GEEZER
BOTH AN OVEN AND A FREEZER
ALL THE OPPOSITES ARE JOINING
UNIQUE IDEAS I KEEP COINING
I'M A GENIUS AND AN EXTREME DUNCE

IF I COULD SIMPLY HOLD A PEN
I WOULD BE BACK AT WORK AGAIN
POEMS AND SONGS I WOULD BE WRITING
STEAD A FINGER NAIL BITEING
NOT TO MENTION VERBAL FIGHTING
AS I'M COMICLY DELIGHTING
ALL MY COMRADES AT THE LOONEY BIN


OF COURSE IT TRULEY MIGHT NOT BE
WISE TO SIMPLY SET ME FREE
WOULD NOT THE PUBLIC BE IN DANGER
OF ME GETTING EVEN STRANGER
LIKES SOME ANGRY ROGUE LONE RANGER
OR AN EXPERT MIND DERANGER
THIS CAN'T GOOD BE FOR YOU OR ME
