Kansas City

Kansas City was never this pretty
with jaws open like a carnival game
singing songs of what's lost and gained
this will never be the same she says
with a shriek like a penguin sitting over a rainbow
moaning like a hawk that she knows
well at least she's seen him once
dancing around like a chicken

but those days are gone and Kansas was never really there
just my dreams of penguins cuddled next to my teddy bear
love your friends with all you got
because one day they may all turn to pot or something worse
like a panda wearing glasses in a blue tube cake
singing songs about the drugs he would take
NO... NO.... Leave that stuff alone!
it'll kill you before this game is through
Because life has a funny way of doing that, taking what you got
and wearing some old top hat... dancing
