Bird In A Box

Adrian Belew · Coming Attractions [2000]

I'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat

Dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tail piece

I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef



There's a Mando Linda Evans talking on the phone

Call a Porter Wagoner tailor-made underwear

Every dog has his Dayton Ohio Hitler

Says to button your fly Tijuana place a Bette Middler



Oh, drop dead lock stock and bugle coral reefer man

Every Marlon Brando gave him a great big handstand

What a lumpy guy lumbago embargo fish pants



Is there a Groucho Marxist doctrine in the house

Calls about a lost set of Keystone cops out

The same way you came in through the bathroom wind

Oh look, a rock n' roller skate and all skate slowly



Hey man, a T-bone state of the aren't

You gonna finish your bird in a box

Hey man, your witness to the stand still

Shoulder to shoulder, the burden a box

Hey man, and even Colonel Sanders' daddy

Was a thunder bird in a box



Loose tooth three of a perfect paradiced onions cheese

And beans from another planeteri gargoyle change

Every two thousand smiled at

Linda Evans called again singing happy birthmark
